Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam has urged the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to earnestly strive for its financial targets for the fiscal year 2024.
Dr. Adam highlighted the necessity of a balanced approach, emphasizing the importance of a strategic roadmap that incorporates user-friendly methods alongside a strong commitment to fulfilling the GRA’s mandate. During his recent visit to the GRA headquarters in Accra, Dr. Adam reiterated his commitment to boosting domestic revenue and stressed the significance of teamwork in ensuring Ghana’s compliance with its International Monetary Fund (IMF) program.
He emphasized the need for collaboration to uphold the country’s financial stability.
“I expect that we work together through a structured framework to exceed your performance last year, the GH¢170 billion target which we have put in the 2024 budget. I believe you can do more than that. I believe you can exceed the GH¢170 billion target for 2024 because you have done it, and you have demonstrated capability that you can do this. But quite sincere, we all need to urgently agree on a roadmap. It appears some of the things we do are ad-hoc and not coordinated, and so when you have multiple complex issues such as taxes being implemented without coordination or a roadmap, then it becomes a problem,” he said.
