He further stressed his government commitment to creating a favourable business environment to propel the private sector.
“It is only when the private sector flourishes that we can create the high number of jobs required by the teeming masses of the Ghanaian youth. When the private sector flourishes, then we will be on the sure path towards progress and prosperity for all Ghanaians,” he said.
The president also decried the unemployment situation in the country, pledging to do something urgently about it.
"It is a major social and economic problem and we have to do something about it. I believe that we are going to do something about it, and you will see that through the measures we are going to put in place in our budget”.
