This will impact the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) and thus reduce the 2023 Appropriation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Hon Osei Asare told Journalists in Parliament that the government\u2019s yearly goods and services expenditure amounted to less than GH\u00a210 billion. Additionally, she pointed out that the entire goods and services budget for Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) throughout the financial year amounted to less than GH\u00a220 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She asserted that considering the current economic situation, the GH\u00a220 billion cut was more than sufficient. She also highlighted the need to avoid excessive contraction of the economy to ensure ongoing economic activities and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at the year\u2019s goods and services, it is less than GH\u00a210 billion. The whole MMDAs, their goods and services for the whole financial year is less than GH\u00a220.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, if you ask that, is the GH\u00a220 billion enough, it is way more than enough looking at the situation in which we find ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou cannot also contract the economy to a certain extent. When you do that, nothing happens, nothing goes on,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Source: expressnewsghana.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Deputy Minister of Finance, Hon Abena Osei-Asare has explained government\u2019s proposal to cut expenditure by GH\u00a220 billion in the 2023 mid-year budget review saying [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12245,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[3065],"class_list":["post-12246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","tag-economy-govt-abena-osei"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
