Bawumia to speak on the economy in April

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will on Thursday, April 7, 2022 speak on the Ghanaian economy, his spokesperson, Gideon Boako has confirmed.

Following debilitating effects on the Ghanaian economy, including price hikes on fuel and commodities and depreciation of the Cedi, there have been calls on the Vice President to address the issues publicly.

Speaking on Asempa FM on Tuesday afternoon, Gideon Boako, the Vice President’s Spokesperson, confirmed Dr. Bawumia will speak on the economy at a public forum.

Multiplicity of factors including the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have largely contributed to economic meltdown across the globe, and Vice President Bawumia is expected to address how these factors have impacted the Ghanaian economy, as well as measures the government has taken to address the situation.

Prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the Ghana economy was on the rise with positive indicators, earning positive ratings from global economic watchers.

The already tight situation, due to Covid, has also been worsened by the invasion of Russia in Ukraine.

Nonetheless, critics of the Vice President, especially members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), have been on the Vice President’s neck to speak out.

As a confident public speaker whose characteristic is to make his case and comparisons with data, the public, surely will be keen to hear from the Vice President on the 7th of April.
