The Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the stability of the Ghana cedi and safeguarding the gains achieved in recent months.
Speaking at the launch of the 60th anniversary of the Ghana Cedi in Accra on Tuesday, October 28, Dr. Forson assured the public that the government will “stay the course” in implementing sound fiscal and monetary measures to ensure the continued strength of the local currency.
“I want to use this opportunity to commit that the government of Ghana remains committed, and we shall stay the course to ensure that the Ghana cedi remains stable and that the gains we are seeing are maintained,” Dr. Forson stated.
The Finance Minister also called on citizens to play their part in supporting the national currency, emphasising the collective responsibility required to sustain economic stability.
