Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Alhaji Mohammed Nasiru, has expressed confidence that the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review will showcase the government’s renewed focus on fiscal discipline and sound economic management.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Thursday, July 24, Alhaji Nasiru stated that the policies and preparations leading up to the review reflect a responsible approach to governance, which he believes will ultimately benefit the people of Ghana.
“The government has taken firm steps to ensure fiscal discipline across all levels—from policymaking to implementation,” he said. “These efforts are designed to serve the long-term interests of the Ghanaian people.”
Alhaji Nasiru noted that the upcoming address by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson will further demonstrate the administration’s dedication to maintaining economic stability and promoting inclusive growth.
“In just a few hours, the Finance Minister will address the nation, and I am both confident and pleased that his message will reflect the government’s commitment to doing what is right for the economy,” he added.
The 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review will assess the government’s economic performance during the first half of the year and outline key strategies to sustain Ghana’s recovery under the ongoing IMF programme.
The presentation comes at a time when Ghana’s macroeconomic indicators are showing signs of improvement. Inflation, which stood at 23.5% at the start of the year, dropped to 13.7% by the end of June—boosting optimism that the government can meet its revised year-end inflation target of 11.9%.
Dr. Forson is also expected to address crucial areas such as expenditure control, revenue generation, public debt management, and progress on key development projects.
