2027 Budget faces 3 economic policy challenges about the ‘New Economy’ – US-based economist
These important questions are “How much of the announced investment is genuinely new? How will the government finance the larger fiscal deficit? And how will the investment programme be reconciled with the government's ambitious foreign reserve accumulation strategy?
Dr. Dennis Nsafoah, an Assistant Professor at Niagara University in New York, has raised three critical economic policy questions about Ghana's 'New Economy' presented in the 2027 Budget. The first question is about the extent of genuine new investment, the second is about how the government will finance the larger fiscal deficit, and the third is about reconciling the investment programme with Ghana's ambitious foreign reserve accumulation strategy.
Dr. Nsafoah argues that the success of the New Economy depends on whether the government channels additional fiscal space into genuinely productive investment, finances the resulting deficit without undermining private-sector credit, and reconciles its growth ambitions with GANRAP's aggressive reserve accumulation targets.
