  "account": "Dr. Amin Adam, former Finance Minister, has criticized the government's plans to introduce a new \"New Economy\" slogan ahead of the 2027 Budget presentation. He argues that the government should first account for the failures of the previous \"24-Hour Economy\" promises before asking Ghanaians to embrace a new slogan. Dr. Adam points out that the majority of people in Ghana are more concerned about creating jobs and addressing the cost of living than macroeconomic statistics. He questions the credibility of the proposed $10 billion New Economy programme, its financing, and the reversals in inflation and the cedi. Dr. Adam urges the Finance Minister to present a clearer plan for job creation, increased real incomes, and economic freedom before proposing another economic catchphrase.",
