The Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting President John Dramani Mahama in fixing Ghana’s economy.

During his presentation of the 2025 Budget Statement on Tuesday, March 11, Dr. Forson reflected on his journey in public service and emphasized the need for urgent structural reforms to revive the nation’s economic fortunes.

“Mr. Speaker, standing here evokes a sense of nostalgia as I reflect on my journey in public service. From my early days as a young parliamentarian in 2009, destiny has guided my path—from a backbencher and a member of the Finance Committee to Deputy Minister for Finance, to Ranking Member of the Finance Committee, to Minority Leader, to Majority Leader, and now, Minister responsible for Finance,” he said.

Dr. Forson acknowledged the invaluable experience he gained in Parliament, noting that it had shaped his perspective and sharpened his focus in tackling the country’s economic challenges.

He expressed gratitude to the people of Ajumako Enyan Essiam and members of Parliament for their continuous support throughout his career.

The Finance Minister highlighted the critical role of Parliament in ensuring accountability, describing it as a “sanctuary of rigorous debate, principled cooperation, and at times, constructive disagreement—all in the pursuit of the greater good of our beloved country.”

He assured the House of his readiness to work closely with Speaker Alban Bagbin and members from both sides of the aisle to implement sound policies and structural reforms aimed at restoring economic stability.

“Mr. Speaker, there comes a time in a nation’s history when fundamental challenges must be confronted, difficult choices must be made, and a new course must be set for the future. For Ghana, that defining moment is now!” he declared.
