NDC brought economic stability that stimulated private sector growth – Angelina Asurayaga
Improved inflation and tax reforms credited with boosting private sector confidence
A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Chiana-Paga Constituency, Angelina Asurayaga, has lauded the NDC government for what she describes as its role in stabilising the economy and creating a conducive environment for private sector growth.
Speaking on the Big Mike Breakfast Show on Wednesday, April 29, Asurayaga stated that improved economic indicators, particularly the reduction in inflation, have positively influenced the performance of the private sector.
“What we did first was to ensure that inflation was stabilised, and that has improved the capacity of the private sector.” She said.
She further argued that the appreciation of the Ghana cedi, coupled with the removal of certain “nuisance taxes,” has helped create a more favourable business climate.
According to her, the government inherited an economy burdened by excessive taxation, which affected both individuals and businesses.
“When we took over, there were unnecessary taxes that were taking a toll on everyone, including the private sector. We removed those taxes and implemented measures that ensured economic stability,” she added.
Asurayaga maintained that these interventions have contributed significantly to strengthening private sector development across the country.
