Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has confirmed that the government will abolish the E-Levy and the COVID levy in the upcoming 2025 budget, set to be presented on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

These measures, according to him, forms part of government’s 120-day Social Contract, which outlines 26 key pledges aimed at revitalizing the economy and easing the financial burden on citizens.

Among the commitments are the removal of the E-Levy, the COVID levy, a 10% tax on bet winnings, and the emissions levy—all within the administration’s first 90 days in office.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, March 10, Kwakye Ofosu also revealed plans to review taxes and levies on vehicles and equipment imported for industrial and agricultural purposes.

He further highlighted the government’s intention to launch the 24-Hour Economy Policy and implement a ‘No-Academic-Fee’ policy for all first-year students in public tertiary institutions. Additionally, the first budget will introduce the establishment of a Women’s Development Bank and key job creation programs.

“The finance minister has clearly indicated that we are on course to meeting those promises. So when on Tuesday he unveils the details of his budget, you will find that we have kept faith with the people of Ghana regarding the specific promises we made in the 120-day social contract”.

He also addressed concerns about Ghana’s currency depreciation.

“In terms of the currency, the finance minister will highlight measures both within the long term and medium term to address the financial weaknesses within our economy, one of which is rapid currency depreciation.”
