The Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) has lauded government for the 2019 budget and economic policy statement, saying the projections for some key indicators as read by the Finance Minister in Parliament last Thursday shows that Ghana’s medium to long term prospects remain bright.
In a statement issued by the Think-tank on the 2019 budget and signed by its Executive Director, Eugene B.G. Bawelle, the IPPR recommends that a more nuanced realignment of government revenue and expenditure be done so that government does not deviate significantly from its own targets.
The IPPR also recommends that for flagship programmes such as the free SHS, government should indicate the reliable sources of funding if any, outside of the Consolidated Fund. This will ensure the sustainability of these programmes.
