The Chairman of the National Economic Dialogue, Dr. Ishmael Yamson, has disclosed that the journey to reset Ghana’s economy, as promised by President John Dramani Mahama, will not be an easy task.
According to him, the process of rebuilding the economy will be rough, and filled with risks and frustrations from both internal and external sources. However, he expressed confidence that with President Mahama’s determined leadership, the initiative will yield positive results, as the people of Ghana are ready to support this vision.
Speaking at the National Economic Dialogue under the theme “Resetting Ghana: Building the Economy We Want Together,” on Monday, March 3, Dr. Yamson emphasized that the majority of the country’s economic challenges are homegrown and self-inflicted.
He noted that despite the magnitude of these issues, they can be resolved through collective efforts by both the leadership and the citizens.
He further urged the public to take responsibility for shaping the nation’s future, stressing the importance of unity and determination in overcoming the country’s economic difficulties.
“…The sad truth is that the overwhelming majority of our problems are homegrown and self-inflicted. Only our leaders and the people of Ghana can and must resolve these issues. Let us take responsibility for resetting our destiny with our own hands.
“The journey to reset Ghana will not be easy. It will be rough, full of risks and frustrations from within and outside. However, with the determined leadership you have promised and the ownership you take, you shall succeed.
“Besides, there are many Ghanaians who are ready to stand by you and work with you to deliver your bold vision,” he stated.
