President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of government will prioritise nine critical sectors of the economy as part of efforts to accelerate job creation.
President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the government will focus on nine key sectors to boost job creation. These sectors have been identified as having the potential to generate employment, and the private sector is expected to take the lead in implementing the program.
The President made this announcement during a meeting with a delegation from the Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs, led by Nana Barima Twereku Ampem III. The initiative aims to allocate approximately $2 billion annually to support activities within the selected sectors. Mahama emphasized that the program will not be driven by government-owned businesses, as the government is not in the business of creating jobs.
Instead, the private sector will manage the initiative. The Finance Minister will provide more details about the program when he presents the 2027 Budget to Parliament in November. Additionally, Mahama called for the support and participation of traditional authorities in the rollout of the initiative.
