Dr. Stephen Amoah, Deputy Minister for Finance, has made a bold statement regarding Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s plans to address the sharp depreciation of the Cedi against the US dollar if he is elected president. Amoah emphasized the need for a long-term national framework to tackle this issue, highlighting Bawumia’s expertise in financial planning.

The concerns over the Cedi’s decline have been growing among various sectors, with trade unions and the business community expressing worries about the impact on the cost of doing business. These stakeholders have called on the government to find sustainable solutions to stabilize the currency and support economic growth.

In an interview with Citi FM, Dr. Amoah urged Ghanaians to support Dr. Bawumia’s presidential bid, stating that his election would pave the way for the implementation of a comprehensive long-term framework to combat the Cedi’s depreciation and promote economic stability.

Amoah emphasized the importance of electing a leader with a strong financial background to address this persistent issue effectively. He proposed that under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership, a long-term approach would be designed to resolve the Cedi’s depreciation and ensure economic stability.

As the December 7 election approaches, the focus on economic issues like currency depreciation is becoming more prominent. The commitment of political leaders to address these challenges will be a key factor for voters to consider when casting their ballots.
