Presenting, the Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review in Parliament on Tuesday, July 23, Dr Amin Adam expressed concerns over the economic hardships.

Our young people continue to seek employment opportunities beyond what the State can provide. It has, indeed, Mr. Speaker, been a difficult time and I empathise with our entire fellow Ghanaians," he stated.
The Minister stressed that the government was working tirelessly to address the issues and improve the economic situation for all Ghanaians.
