President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has praised the Mahama government for a disciplined and strong start to managing the economy.
Speaking on the state of the economy on Citi FM’s The Big Issue on Saturday January 10, Mr Cudjoe said the administration began its tenure on a positive note, particularly in the area of fiscal discipline.
He noted that when questions were raised about what the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government had done to justify claims of economic improvement and growth, the response from the Finance Minister was straightforward.
According to Mr Cudjoe, Dr Ato Forson explained that the key difference under the current administration is a renewed commitment to economic discipline.
He said this approach has helped set the tone for the government’s economic policies and programmes.
Mr Cudjoe suggested that discipline in managing public finances and adhering to clear economic priorities has distinguished the current administration from previous regime and contributed to improved confidence in the economy.
“I think this government, with Ato Forson and the president, started on a good note. If I recall when this question was asked—‘What has the NDC done to be talking about this improvement or growth?’—there was a simple answer Ato gave: the difference is economic discipline.”
