Akufo-Addo assured that the NPP would break the 8 by relying on his good leadership.
Just as my government worked to bring the country out of the IMF programme that we inherited in 2017, to build a strong economy before the Covid and Russian invasion of Ukraine happened, again we are going to go through the IMF negotiations and bring the economy back to a strong place before 2024 elections.
“All of that is in order to place the NPP in a good place to carry out its pledge of breaking the 8 in 2024.”
