Osei Asare: Ofori-Atta Managed Economy Well Pre-COVID (Growth, Stability Marked His Tenure)
Abena Osei Asare, the MP for Atiwa East and a former Deputy Finance Minister, has defended Ken Ofori-Atta, the former Finance Minister. She said that before the COVID-19 pandemic, he did a good job of running Ghana’s economy. On Adom TV’s Badwam, she talked about how Ghana’s economy grew quickly between 2017 and 2020, with inflation staying in the single digits, the currency staying stable, and the business environment being predictable. She said that the economic problems that came after were caused by the global crisis and were not just happening in Ghana. She pointed out that even advanced economies like the UK have not fully recovered yet. Madam Osei Asare also said that former President Nana Akufo-Addo did the right thing by later moving the Finance Ministry around. She also said that Mr. Ofori-Atta’s time in office should be remembered for stabilizing the economy and building business confidence before the pandemic.
