On Saturday, November 14, Senyo Hosi, convener of the OneGhana Movement and a finance and economic policy analyst, called Ghana’s 2027 budget a "great common‑sense budget" during a JoyNews Newsfile discussion.
Hosi highlighted the government’s improved efficiency in raising revenue and its responsible management of public spending, saying the plan deserved recognition for its focus on economic stability.
"The budget, I must admit, is a great common‑sense budget. It's one of the most common‑sense budgets," he said, noting that such praise was rare for him.
He urged Ghanaians and political actors to move beyond partisan comparisons and instead examine how the country can sustain and expand the gains, stressing that fiscal consolidation should translate into increased production and opportunities for ordinary people.
Hosi also referenced former Vice‑President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s call to shift from taxation to production, acknowledging the principle but noting past failures to deliver.
He praised the government’s decision to make maintaining economic stability the first pillar of its agenda, arguing that a stable environment would allow lower cost of funds and a more predictable climate for businesses and investors.
"We can actually still have low interest rates and still have positive real interest rates and build a pathway for investments," Hosi added.
