The Minority in Parliament is cautioning the government against taking credit for Ghana’s current economic stability, attributing it instead to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program and debt relief measures. According to Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, factors such as increased exports, reduced government expenditure, and debt relief are driving the economic gains, not the government’s competence.
The Minority also criticized the 2026 Budget, labeling it “growthless, jobless, and minimalist,” and argued that the government’s economic policies are focused on short-term gains rather than sustainable growth. They pointed out that the budget’s revenue projections are unrealistic and that the government has not introduced major social interventions to create jobs or opportunities for young Ghanaians.
