The Minority in Parliament has launched a scathing attack on Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, accusing him of manipulating economic data and taking undue credit for gains stemming from debt restructuring initiatives spearheaded by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference in Parliament on Tuesday, the Minority described the recently presented 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review as \u201cdeceptive, misleading, and laced with propaganda economics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The press briefing was led by former Finance Minister and MP for Karaga, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, and supported by MPs Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Dr Gideon Boako.<\/p>\n

Dr. Amin Adam challenged Dr. Forson’s claims of progress in key economic indicators, particularly Ghana\u2019s debt-to-GDP ratio, which the Finance Minister stated had declined from 61.8% in December 2024 to 43.8% by June 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that this government is reaping where it did not sow. the $5 billion debt cancellation and $4.7 billion in debt service savings came from restructuring agreements secured by the Akufo-Addo administration,\u201d Dr. Amin Adam asserted.<\/p>\n

He further accused Dr. Forson of hypocrisy, highlighting that he had previously dismissed the debt restructuring programme initiated under President Akufo-Addo, only to now tout its benefits.<\/p>\n

The Minority also questioned the Minister’s reference to Ghana\u2019s improved credit rating by Fitch Ratings in June 2025, which upgraded the country\u2019s status from ‘Restricted Default’ to ‘B-‘.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Amin Adam, the credit upgrade was a direct result of agreements concluded in October 2024, before the current administration assumed office.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo claim credit for a Fitch upgrade that clearly references a $13.1 billion Eurobond restructuring secured by the previous government is dishonest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Minority also accused Dr. Forson of presenting inaccurate data regarding the performance of the cedi.<\/p>\n

They challenged his claim that the local currency had appreciated from GH\u00a217 to GH\u00a210.4 to the dollar, insisting the cedi never reached GH\u00a217 under the NPP administration.<\/p>\n

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi, argued that the Minister’s own budget document indicated a 42.6% appreciation, implying a prior exchange rate of approximately GH\u00a214.7\u2014not GH\u00a217 as claimed.<\/p>\n

Beyond the figures, the Minority called attention to what they described as worsening economic conditions for ordinary Ghanaians, citing rising costs of basic commodities such as cement (from GH\u00a290 to GH\u00a2130), bread (GH\u00a218 to GH\u00a245), deodorant (GH\u00a235 to GH\u00a270), and kenkey (GH\u00a23\u20135 to GH\u00a25\u20137).<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the real economic indicators,\u201d said Oppong Nkrumah. \u201cAsk the traders at Malata Market or the residents of Techiman and Chorkor, life is getting harder, not better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minority also criticized the government\u2019s revenue strategy, pointing to a GH\u00a23 billion shortfall despite the introduction of eight new taxes, including a 3% Growth and Sustainability Levy and a 21.9% VAT on non-life insurance.<\/p>\n

They condemned the recent hikes in utility tariffs, including a 139.3% increase in electricity prices reported by the Ghana Statistical Service, and opposed the new Fishing Levy on marine gas oil.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fiscal strategy that relies heavily on taxing struggling Ghanaians is not reform\u2014it\u2019s extortion,\u201d the MPs said.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging the continuation of some beneficial NPP-era policies such as the Gold Purchase Programme and tight monetary policy, the Minority urged the government to adopt better currency management strategies, promote public-private partnerships, and withdraw burdensome taxes to combat inflation and ease the pressure on households.<\/p>\n

They also called on the Bank of Ghana to disclose details of its monetary financing activities, particularly in relation to the financing of Goldbod, warning that any lack of transparency could breach Ghana\u2019s obligations under the IMF programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the Finance Minister to show humility, acknowledge the solid economic foundation laid by the previous administration, and prioritize measures that bring real relief to Ghanaians,\u201d Dr. Amin Adam concluded.<\/p>\n
