On January 25, President John Mahama named a 7-member National Economic Dialogue Planning Committee, chaired by Dr. Ishmael Yamson as part of his 120-day Social Contract.
The announcement was part of his promise during the campaign period to convene a National Economic Dialogue aimed at developing a four-year fiscal consolidation program, which he views as a key component of his strategy to rebuild the economy.
The committee’s members include Dr. K.Y. Amoako, Professor John Gatsi, Mohammed Samara, Nelly Mireku, Anthony Sarpong, and Ernest De-Graft Egyir.
Their primary objective is to plan a National Economic Dialogue (NED) that will provide a platform for discussing the country’s pressing development challenges.
