During the media launch, Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr John Kuma, delivered a detailed address on wealth creation, underscoring the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration's commitment to empowering the Ghanaian youth.
He placed emphasis on leveraging the e-levy, which generated GHS1.19 billion in 2023, to inject capital into the businesses of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across Ghana.
According to him, the Government's initiatives for wealth and jobs are intact.
He further highlighted various interventions undertaken by the administration led by President Nana Addo to address unemployment and promote wealth creation.
