Right Honourable Speaker, Honourable Members of Parliament, today the fifteenth day of November 2018, on the authority of the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, I beg to move that this august House approves the Financial Policy of the Government of the Republic of Ghana for the year ending 31st December, 2019.

2.
2.

Mr. Speaker, on the authority of His Excellency the President, and in keeping with the requirement under Article 179 of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana, may I respectfully present the Budget Statement and Economic Policies of Government for 2019 to this Honourable House.

3.

Mr. Speaker, this statement is an abridged version of the 2019 Budget Statement.

I would like to request the Hansard Department to capture the entire Budget Statement and Economic Policy.

4.
4.

I also submit before this august House, the 2018 Annual Report on the Petroleum Funds, in accordance with Section 48 of the Petroleum Revenue Management Act, 2011 (Act 815), as amended.

5.

Mr. Speaker, the theme of this year’s budget is “A Stronger Economy, for Jobs and Prosperity”.

The budget represents the third of four budget statements of the government.
It, therefore, offers us an opportunity to take a mid-term review of the performance of the Government in managing the economy and how we intend to accelerate the programme of growing the economy, protecting the vulnerable, and creating jobs and prosperity for the Ghanaian people over the next financial year.

6.
6.

I do not take lightly the significance of this moment and opportunity we are granted annually to determine how the precious assets of Ghana – our people, our land, our natural resources and our treasury should be stewarded for national growth and human development.

7.

Despite the challenges, we approach this process with genuine humility and gratitude to a great God.
We recognize that while current resources are insufficient to meet every need and every demand of every Ghanaian, there are no limitations on our collective potential, our will and our hope that the sacrifices we make and the seeds we sow today will achieve sustainable results putting Ghana on an irreversible path of enviable empowerment.

1 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 8.
With all the humility I can muster, Mr. Speaker, permit me to say that I am proud to say that the Akufo-Addo government is delivering on this four-year resounding mandate that the people of Ghana has given us.

This is evident in the impressive strides the nation has made in the past 22 months.

9.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the President, I wish to thank you all, the citizens of this country, for your patience, perseverance, sacrifices, activism and partnership that you have extended to this government.
So far-reaching and non-partisan has these national sacrifices been, that even now, some members of the Minority in Parliament have decided to lead the campaign for cleaner environment by dumping their gas-guzzling Toyota Land cruisers to ride bicycles to work.

For example, a former Deputy Minister for Power, during the unforgiving ‘Dumsor’ era under President John Dramani Mahama, was seen two evenings ago riding his bicycle to a luxury furniture shop on the Spintex Road.

10.
10.

Yes, Mr. Speaker, we have, in the last two budget years, taken some tough decisions to get the country out of some very rough seas.

We are not proud of the fact that there is still hardship in the country.

But, we are comforted by the fact that we have managed to ease the impact of the hardships that the Ghanaian people had been resigned to prior to December 7, 2016.

We are not there yet.

We still have a long way to go in fulfilling the manifest destiny of this blessed land.
Indeed, we are being repaid for “the years the locusts have eaten”.

11.

So, Mr. Speaker, what is, however, clear is that the nation is moving forward under this government and moving forward in the right direction.

12.

We are now on course to exit the IMF programme by the end of this year.
It has been a collective effort by all of us––Government, for exercising the kind of macro-economic competence and discipline that was evidently lacking in the past; and, the people for their patience, understanding, and keeping faith with their government.

The programme, may have had its critics because of the constraints it imposed.

But, it was a necessary pill because by 2014, the government then had lost its fiscal discipline and had very little choice but to seek the bailout.
We are grateful to the IMF and are determined to maintain a combination of economic discipline and vibrancy that will ensure that we will not have to be rescued in that manner in the future.

13.

Mr. Speaker, the philosophy of this government has not been to throw our hands in the air and offer excuses.

The President, of course, set the standard in his first State of the Nation address.

He said: “I was not elected by the overwhelming majority of the Ghanaian people to complain.
I was elected to get things done.

I 2 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” was elected to fix what is broken and my government and I are determined to do just that.” 14.
Mr. Speaker, it is important to remember what it was in order to appreciate the work that has been done to fix the mess: ● Declining economic growth that fell from 14 percent 2011 to 3.7 percent in 2016; ● Declining growth in agriculture and negative growth in industry; ● Rising unemployment that resulted in the formation of the Unemployed Graduates Association; ● High Fiscal Deficits reaching 9.3 percent of GDP in 2016; ● Fast rising Public Debts which pushed the debt-to-GDP ratio to 73.1 percent at the end of 2016; ● Fast-falling Cedi, affecting even the meagre profits that street hawkers struggle to make; ● High interest rates killing businesses; ● Effective return to “Cash and Carry” under NHIS as a result of Government arrears ● Weak Banking System and unstable financial system; ● And, lest we forget, Mr. Speaker, Ghanaian businesses, big and small, were working only to pay electricity bills or to buy diesel for the generator.
We cannot forget so soon the havoc that five years of ‘Dumsor’ caused to households, businesses and all, up and down the country.

15.

These are just some items on the long list of things that were broken and needed to be fixed.

16.
Mr. Speaker, within two years of the change in government, below are just some of the problems we have fixed: ● a change in the management of the economy; ● a change from macroeconomic instability to macroeconomic stability; ● a change from a rising debt-to-GDP ratio to a declining debt-to-GDP ratio; ● changing from a weak banking system to a strong, well-capitalised and better supervised banking system; ● a change from taxation that undermines production; ● a change from a predominance of sole sourcing to competitive tendering in procurement; this changed has seen the Public Procurement Authority making total savings of GH¢1.8 billion from January 2017 to October 2018.
It is important to recognized that not a single pesewa was saved all the years under the previous government until 2017.
3 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● a change from the manual process of clearing goods, with its attendant corruption at the ports to a paperless process; ● a change to bring about a reduction in electricity tariff; ● a change from dumsor to reliable power; ● a change in the access to and cost of education, to introduce free Senior High School education; ● a change from the abolition of teacher training allowances to a restoration of teacher training allowances; ● a change from Cash and Carry in NHIS to a functioning national health insurance system where arrears have been cleared; ● a change from the abolition of nursing training allowances to a restoration of nursing training allowances; ● a change to increase the share of the DACF to persons with disabilities from 2 percent to 3 percent; ● a change in a moribund private sector to a vibrant job creating private sector; ● a change from rising graduate unemployment to reducing graduate unemployment through programmes such as the 100,000 strong NABCO corps; ● a change from a dying colonial railway network system, that had been to a re-energised railway sector; ● a change from a stagnant agricultural sector to a revitalised agricultural sector under the Planting for Food and Jobs programme; ● a change from destructive galamsey activities to a regulated small scale mining activities; ● a change from the opaque allocation of Ghana’s oil blocks to non-performing cronies to a transparent allocation of oil blocks to investors with the capacity to work the fields.
17.
Mr. Speaker, His Excellency responded and promised: ● an innovative change to bring jobs and income to every district through One District One Factory; ● an innovative change to bring development to our rural areas through One Village One Dam under IPEP; ● an innovative change to Mobile Payment Interoperability; ● an innovative change to three Development Authorities to be a vehicle for accelerated development and the allocation of capital expenditure; ● an innovative change to the establishment of the Zongo Development Fund as a vehicle to focus on the developmental needs of Zongo communities; and ● an innovative change to the approach of entrepreneurship development through the establishment of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP).
4 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 18.

A major focus of the Government in the last 22 months has been to clean the economic mess we inherited with the restoration and sustainability of macroeconomic stability as the anchor for economic growth.

Fiscal policy has been underpinned by increased revenue mobilisation, fiscal consolidation, and expenditure prioritisation, as well as moving Government policy from a focus on taxation to a focus on production.
In this regard, Government has implemented the following policies and measures: ● Abolished excise duty on petroleum; ● Reduced special petroleum tax rate from 17.5 percent to 15.0 percent and further reduced to 13 percent, converted from ad valorem to specific tax.
In fact, it is important to note that petroleum taxes as a percentage of the total price build up for petroleum prices has reduced from 40.0 percent in March 2017 to 26.0 percent today; ● We abolished levies imposed on ‘kayayei’ by local authorities; ● Abolished the 1 percent Special Import Levy; ● Abolished the 17.5 percent VAT/NHIL on domestic airline tickets; ● Abolished the 17.5 percent VAT/NHIL on financial services; ● Abolished the 17.5 percent VAT/NHIL on selected imported medicines, that are not produced locally; ● Abolished the 5.0 percent VAT/NHIL on Real Estate sales; ● Abolished import duty on the importation of spare parts; ● Reduced National Electrification Scheme Levy from 5.0 percent to 2.0 percent and ● Reduced Public Lighting Levy from 5.0 percent to 3.0 percent.
19.
After 22 months of disciplined economic management, the results have been quite remarkable: ● Economic growth increased from 3.7 percent in 2016 to 8.5 percent in 2017; ● Agriculture growth increased from 3.0 percent in 2016 to 8.4 percent in 2017; Industry growth rose from negative 0.5 percent in 2016 to 16.7 percent in ● 2017; ● Services Sector grew at 4.3 percent in 2017 compared to 5.7 percent in 2016; ● The fiscal deficit was reduced from 9.3 percent of GDP in 2016 to 5.9 percent of GDP in 2017 (the first time since 2006 that a government has met the deficit target), it is at 2.8 percent of GDP in June 2018 within the target of 4.5 percent of GDP in December 2018; Inflation declined from 15.4 percent in 2016 to 11.8 percent in 2017 and now stands in single digits at 9.8 percent (September); ● ● The Bank of Ghana Monetary Policy Rate saw a year-on-year reduction from 25.5 percent by end-2016 to 20 percent by end-2017 and currently stands at 5 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 17 percent.
This is the longest 18-month reduction in the monetary policy rate since 2001; Interest rates on the 91-day treasury bills declined from 16.8 and now stands at 13.4 percent; ● ● Ghana’s trade position with the rest of the world has strengthened.
The trade account recorded a deficit of US$1.4 billion in June 2016, improved significantly to a surplus for the first time in two decades to US$1.1 billion as at June 2017 and another surplus of US$1.1 billion as at June 2018; ● Our gross international reserves increased from $6.2 billion in December 2016 (3.5 months of imports) to US$7.3 billion as at June 2018 (3.9 months of imports); ● Ghana’s debt to GDP ratio which increased from 32 percent in 2008 to 73.1 percent in 2016 declined for the first time since 2007 from 73.1 percent of GDP in 2016 to 67.3 percent in June 2018; and ● For the first time in almost a decade, Standard and Poor’s (S&P) upgraded Ghana’s Sovereign Credit rating from B negative to B with a stable outlook, in September 2018.
20.

These are remarkable achievements which we are determined to build on in order to improve the lives of Ghanaians.

In preparing this budget, we undertook broad consultations with various stakeholders across the nation.
Consequently, I present to this august house and to the people of our great country: ● a budget that delivers on the hopes and expectations of Ghanaians; ● a budget that speaks to the needs of hardworking Ghanaians; ● a budget that enables us to face the future with confidence; ● a budget that reflects Government’s commitment to building human capital through improvements in health and education; ● a budget that continues to deliver on job creation; ● a budget that provides opportunity for wealth creation; ● a budget that follows through on our promise to protect the public purse; ● a budget that small businesses will be happy about; ● a budget that enjoins our citizens to uphold the Republic and to at all times fulfill their civic duties as citizens of the Republic; ● a budget that promotes our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and takes fundamental steps towards Ghana Beyond Aid.
21.

This will be the first budget in Africa and second in the world, after Mexico to fully integrate the SDGs framework, enabling us to track our financial performance in order to ensure progress on these important targets that affect lives of our fellow Ghanaians.

6 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 22.
Mr. Speaker, our 2018 “Adwuma” Budget aimed to build on our 2017 “Asempa” Budget achievements and put the country back to work; to grow the economy, create jobs and improve the lives of Ghanaians.

Economic growth remains strong, and we are on track to achieve our key macroeconomic targets for 2018 and the medium term.

This is progress we can all be proud of.

23.

Mr. Speaker, the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) completed the GDP rebasing exercise in September 2018.
As a result, our economy is 24.5 percent larger.

This increase reflects economic activities that hitherto were not captured (e.g.

natural gas production), or were captured with insufficient data (e.g.

fruits, vegetables, mining and manufacturing activities).

24.

The rebasing resulted in a number of changes in some economic indicators.

The good news is that per capita GDP rose from GH¢7,110 to GH¢8,863.
On the other hand, with the expanded GDP base, the 2017 GDP growth rate of 8.5 percent was revised down to 8.1 percent, which is still the highest in recent years.

We are fully aware of what happened the last time Ghana’s economy was rebased, in November 2010, resulting in a 63 percent upward change.

It gave the then managers of the economy a false sense of security, as the debt-to-GDP ratio was significantly reduced.
They went on a borrowing spree, forgetting that rebasing also exposed how very little revenue we raise through taxation.

25.

Mr. Speaker, during the first half of 2018, real GDP grew by 5.4 percent, reflecting slower growth in the oil sector compared to 2017, but we are still on track to achieve our revised target of 5.6 percent growth this year.
Much of the higher growth in the past 2 years reflects our prudent economic management and flagship programmes that respond to the realities of the majority of our citizens 26.

In addition to significant achievements in stabilising the economy, we are on course to achieve our fiscal deficit target of 4.5 percent for the year (3.7 % in the rebased series).

This will be the 2nd consecutive year this Government has achieved its fiscal deficit target.

27.
27.

Mr. Speaker, not only are we growing the economy, the Bank of Ghana has also done an excellent job in implementing monetary policy.

This has resulted in inflation dropping to single digit, lower interest rates, and a relatively stable currency, despite recent turbulence in emerging markets, and a strengthening US Dollar.

28.

The financial system is critical to the functioning and development of the economy and, banks are central to our financial system.
In addition to providing employment to a large segment of the population, the role of banks as the 7 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” provider of credit and liquidity to the economy remains critical to the functioning of our economy.

29.
29.

Mr. Speaker, weak macroeconomic conditions coupled with poor corporate governance and risk management in a number of banks, over the past few years, led to high levels of non-performing loans (NPLs) and abuse of depositors’ funds through related parties and affiliates in breach of regulatory requirements.

In addition, the lack of enforcement of the rules contributed to liquidity and solvency challenges in the banking sector.
As a result, we inherited a number of weak banks and specialised deposit-taking institutions (savings and loans companies, Finance Houses, Rural and Community Banks, and microfinance institutions).

This eventually led to the failure of seven banks, with potentially adverse consequences for depositors, creditors, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
It was critically important that these failed banks be made to exit the financial system in a timely and orderly fashion to avoid contagion for the rest of the financial system.

30.

Mr. Speaker, since the assumption of office by the current administration of the Bank of Ghana, bold measures have been taken to restore the health and resilience of the banking sector and to clamp down on unlicensed deposit-taking financial houses.
In addition to the two insolvent banks that were closed last year by the Bank of Ghana, five more were closed in August this year for insolvency and other infractions of the law.

Rescuing the situation regarding these seven banks has, so far, cost some GH¢9.9 billion in monies that Government had not budgeted for and could have surely been put in good use to fix our numerous infrastructural needs, such as housing, roads, bridges, etc.

31.
31.

The Government has continued to provide assurances to depositors and customers of licensed banks and specialised deposit-taking institutions, through demonstrable actions, that their deposits are safe.

Indeed, following the creation of the Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited (a wholly owned Government of Ghana and licensed by the Bank of Ghana as a universal bank), the government capitalised it with GH¢450 million.
In addition, Government had to issue a bond with a face value of GH¢7.6 billion to cover the gap, between the deposit liabilities and the remaining good assets of the failed banks.

This singular action of government has reposed confidence in the banking system because it will ensure that no deposit will be lost and customers will continue to access their deposits without difficulty.

32.
32.

Through Government’s intervention in August this year, deposits of some GH¢11.0 billion have been saved as well as some 2,661 jobs in addition to 8 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” several hundred saved in 2017 from the insolvent 2 banks that were closed in 2017.

The Government’s action has also created a strong indigenous Ghanaian bank in place of the five failed banks.
The Government is committed to ensuring that Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited remains a strong customer-oriented indigenous bank, well positioned to meet the demands of all its customers and to serve as the go-to bank for financing Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and corporate Ghana.

33.

Mr. Speaker, generally, banks have made progress in repairing their balance sheets by writing off bad loans and addressing capital needs.
Banks are far advanced in executing their plans to augment their statutory capital in line with the new minimum requirement, compliance of which is expected by end- December 2018.

34.

The Bank of Ghana is also working on a comprehensive action plan for cleaning up the specialised deposit-taking institutions (SDI) sector made up of savings and loans companies, finance houses, rural and community banks, and microfinance institutions.
The Government will support an orderly resolution of the difficulties, and will provide the much-needed funds to facilitate prompt payouts to their depositors.

35.

Mr. Speaker, the Government’s financial interventions in the cleanup exercise have been necessary to help mitigate the socio-economic impacts arising out of the closure of the failed financial institutions.
It is important that the costs of these interventions, borne by taxpayers, are recovered to the extent possible, through recoveries from debtors, shareholders, and related and connected parties, who, through unfair means, siphoned funds, from the defunct banks to the detriment of depositors, employees, other stakeholders, and the economy as a whole.

The receivers for the resolved banks have already commenced civil actions against shareholders and directors to recover funds.
The Attorney-General has also set up a special investigation team that is preparing dockets to prosecute those found criminally liable.

The Bank of Ghana has also set up an Office of Ethics and Internal Investigations to investigate all allegations of misconduct by staff, including any role in the collapse of defunct banks.

The Government will not shield anyone found complicit in the failure of these banks.

36.
36.

In addition to all these clean-ups, Government has also taken steps to settle almost all claims of DKM customers.

Mr. Speaker, you would recall that DKM Diamond Microfinance Limited had its license revoked in February 2016 with considerable suffering imposed on depositors, without any meaningful response from the previous government.

That has significantly changed.


The official 9 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” liquidator received 99,858 claims and the validated claims amounted to GH¢502 million.

I would like to inform the country that out of the 99,858 claims, 79,708 (80 percent) have been settled and depositors have been paid.

The Government has set aside funds at the Bank of Ghana to pay the remaining 20 percent of depositors upon validation.
An additional 12,612 claims have been fully provided for but the customers have not as yet been able to show proof of deposit.

This means that 92 percent of DKM claims from depositors have been paid or provided for.

Depositors for the remaining 7,568 claims of above GH¢10,000 are yet to reach agreement with the liquidators.

37.
37.

Mr. Speaker, let me say how pleased His Excellency the President is, that in 2018, 270,000 young Ghanaians (90,000 in 2017/2018 and 180,000 in 2018/2019) who would not have been able to access secondary education were able to attend to do so because of Free SHS.

We cannot downplay how significant this is to building a future for every citizen of this land.

38.

Mr. Speaker, the days of an ailing National Health Insurance Scheme are behind us.
We have re-energised the scheme which is now able to settle its bills, thereby ensuring that many more Ghanaians have access to quality healthcare across the country.

39.

For our Government, support for the private sector is a top priority.

Our efforts to improve the business environment were duly recognised in the 2019 World Bank Ease of Doing Business Report, in which our position improved from 120th to 114th, out of 190 countries.
This is just the beginning, as we strive to continually improve the business climate in Ghana.

We can and will do much better.

40.

Government has provided strong support to stimulate the private sector.

In addition to bringing down interest rates, we provided direct support to the sector, through the Stimulus and 1D1F programmes.

The 1D1F programme has generated strong interest from several banks.

Fifty-five (55) companies have been funded, with several others in the pipeline.

41.
41.

Mr. Speaker, Government’s Planting for Food and Jobs programme (PFJ) is yielding impressive results.

In order to consolidate the gains achieved under programme, Government, last week, operationalised the Ghana Commodity Exchange, the first electronic commodity exchange in West Africa.

Going forward, there will always be a ready market for farmers who produce grains such as corn and soya, among others.

10 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 42.
Through this exchange an estimated 200,000 skilled jobs will be provided not only in Accra but in key agriculture production and trading centers including Wenchi, Tamale and Sandema which host warehouses to support the exchange.

Some of the jobs to be created include commodity brokers, data analysts, credit officers and grain pickers.

43.

Mr. Speaker, Ghana’s credibility in the international capital market is on the rise.
As a testament to the prudent fiscal and monetary policies of this Government, in May 2018, The Akufo-Addo Government successfully issued its first Eurobond, with shining success: a hat trick of 3 Ls: ● Largest Eurobond issuance of $2 billion; ● ● the Longest maturity period of 30 years; and the Lowest pricing in Ghana’s history--8.627 percent for the 30-year bond!

44.
44.

Mr. Speaker, 2018 Ghana’s appeal as the preferred investment destination has grown significantly and we have attracted global industry giants such as Volkswagen, Nissan, ExxonMobil and Siemens to establish local assembly plants.

45.

Mr. Speaker, our policies have improved the business environment and the private sector has responded by increasing jobs.
Based on SSNIT data, the private sector added 208,620 formal jobs in the first 10 months of 2018, an increase on the 197,000 formal jobs registered in 2017.

We have resourced the Ghana Statistical Service and the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to develop a more robust system to track employment on a quarterly basis.

46.

Government is also doing its part on job creation.


Over the period 2017 and 2018, the Ministry of Finance granted financial clearance to various agencies to recruit 88,719 Ghanaians into critical sectors of agriculture, health, and education to enable us to improve service delivery.

In addition, the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO), a three - year transitional job opportunity for young graduates has enrolled 100,000 young graduates to support the delivery of critical public services.

47.
47.

Mr. Speaker, this is a monumental achievement as it is the largest single jobs and skills development programme in the last 50 years.

The testimonies from the beneficiaries and their families have reaffirmed Government’s commitment to transform our society.

48.

Mr. Speaker, in recent times, the NPP Government has had to inherit an IMF programme from our friends across the aisle which we have successfully 11 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” completed.
Notwithstanding exiting this current programme after successful completion, we will continue with our prudent management of the economy and buttress that with legal and institutional measures to ensure irreversibility of the gains made so far.

However, as a member in good standing, we will continue our productive policy and technical collaborations with the IMF.

49.

Mr. Speaker, Ghana can look forward with renewed confidence.
This seminal 2019 budget, which comes at the mid-term of our administration aims to consolidate the gains from tough reform measures taken so far and surge boldly forward in growing our economy especially as we successfully exit the ECF programme with the IMF, our trusted advisors in the past three years.

Under the ECF programme, we jointly made some difficult decisions, which have enabled us to improve our macroeconomic situation.

50.
50.

Mr. Speaker, we would like to acknowledge the role and contributions of the IMF in our achievements in macroeconomic stabilisation and growth.

As a member of the IMF, Ghana will continue to engage the IMF through Article IV consultations and other arrangements even after its exit from the current ECF Programme.

51.

As we complete and exit the programme in December 2018, we are also instituting measures to ensure irreversibility of the macroeconomic gains we have made.
Consequently, we will, among others: ● legislate a fiscal responsibility rule to cap the fiscal deficit to no more than 5% of GDP as part of measures to promote budget credibility and fiscal sustainability; ● strictly enforce the PFM Act to promote efficient and effective public financial management; ● continue with the zero central bank financing arrangement with the BoG to curb fiscal dominance as part of measures to rein in on inflation; ● maximize domestic resource mobilization and increase Tax Revenue-to-GDP ● ratio to levels in line with our peer Lower Middle Income countries; implement expenditure efficiency and rationalisation measures to increase efficiency in public spending and free more fiscal space for growth oriented and job-creating programmes; ● enforce the Public Procurement Act and ensure sole sourcing is minimized to promote competition and efficiency in public spending, thereby, promoting value for money; and institute risk management framework to mitigate macro-fiscal risks.
In view of this a Fiscal Risks Unit has been established at the Ministry of Finance.

● 12 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 52.

God has demonstrated countless times that He can use ordinary people, ordinary nations in ordinary times to do extraordinary things.

Ghana has a history replete with “extraordinary” achievements – nationally, regionally and internationally.

These achievements were the result and culmination of right choices.

53.
53.

Mr. Speaker, having set the tone for this budget, in accordance with the Public Financial Management Act, I will proceed to provide details of Government’s plans for 2019, focusing on: ● Recent global macroeconomic developments, and their implications for Ghana; ● Ghana’s macroeconomic performance in 2018, and our targets for 2019 and the medium term; and ● Sectoral performance, Government’s key programmes and policy initiatives, and the consequent deliverables.
13 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” SECTION TWO: GLOBAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS AND OUTLOOK GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT AND OUTLOOK IN 2018 Growth 54.

According to the IMF’s October 2018 World Economic Outlook (WEO), global growth in 2018 and 2019 is expected to remain steady at the 2017 level of 3.7 percent.
This represents a 0.2 percentage point downward revision from the April 2018 WEO forecast of 3.9 per cent for both years, reflecting suppressed economic activity in some major advanced economies, negative effects of international trade measures implemented in the course of the year, and weaker outlook for some key emerging market and developing economies.

55.

Advanced economies are expected to grow by 2.4 percent in 2018, up marginally from 2.3 percent recorded in 2017.
However, growth, in 2019 in the advanced economies is expected to moderate to 2.1 per cent, due to underlying factors such as slower export growth (including oil export), political uncertainty, industrial action, and weather-related disruptions in the United Kingdom.

Growth in the United States, however, is projected at 2.9 percent in 2018, compared to the 2.2 percent outturn in 2017, reflecting strong private sector activity and a sizeable fiscal stimulus.

56.
56.

Among emerging markets and developing economies, growth performances have been somewhat mixed.

While higher oil prices lifted growth in fuel-exporting economies, growth momentum slowed in Brazil, Turkey and Argentina due to tighter financial conditions and droughts.

Growth within the economic bloc is projected at 4.7 per cent in 2018 and 2019, as was the case in 2017.
This growth momentum will be largely based on sustained growth in emerging Asia, buoyed by high domestic demand in the Indian economy from a four-year-low pace of expansion.

Growth in China, however, is expected to moderate in response to financial regulatory intermediation.

the property sector and non-bank tightening of 57.


Economic activities strengthened in sub-Saharan Africa in 2018, reflecting gains from higher commodity prices, accommodative external financing, and domestic policy adjustments, including lower inflation and contained fiscal imbalances.

Growth is expected to increase from 2.7 percent in 2017 to 3.1 percent and 3.8 percent in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Growth momentum improved for oil exporters, especially Nigeria, which is projected to grow at 1.9 percent in 2018, 14 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” up from 0.8 percent in 2017.
According to the IMF’s October 2018 edition of the Regional Economic Outlook (SSA), economic recovery in Nigeria is expected to contribute about 0.7 percentage points to the region’s expected average growth of 3.1 percent in 2018, and positively impact other countries through stronger remittances, financial spill overs, and import demand.

58.
58.

Growth in South Africa is projected at 0.8 percent in 2018, a decline from the 1.3 percent recorded in 2017, partly due to constrained public investment resulting from limited fiscal space and weaknesses in SOEs’ balance sheets.

Growth is pick up in 2019 to 1.4 per cent and thereafter stabilize to about 1.8 percent based on current policy adjustments.

Inflation 59.
Inflation 59.

Mr. Speaker, the rebound in world energy prices kept inflation elevated in both advanced economies, emerging markets and developing economies during the first half of 2018.

60.

Core inflation (excluding energy and food) remains below targets of central banks in most advanced economies.

Inflation in advanced economies is projected at 2 percent for 2018, up from 1.7 percent recorded in 2017.
Core inflation in the United Kingdom averaged 2 percent in the first half of 2018, lower than the first half of 2017.

In the Euro Area and Japan, core inflation is projected at about 1.2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively in 2018.

Inflation in the United States is projected to rise to 2.1 percent in 2018 and 2.3 percent in 2019 (up from 1.6 percent in 2017), mainly due to sizable fiscal stimulus programmes.

61.

62.
61.

62.

In emerging market and developing economies (excluding Venezuela which witnessed hyperinflation), inflation is expected to increase to 5.0 percent in 2018 from 4.3 percent in 2017, in part reflecting the pass-through effect of currency depreciations across the bloc.

In 2019, inflation is expected to hit 5.2 per cent.
Inflationary pressures in sub-Saharan African economies are weakening, with annual headline inflation projected to drop to 8.6 percent in 2018 and 8.5 percent in 2019, from 11 percent in 2017.

In South Africa, inflation is expected to moderate to 4.8 percent in 2018 from 5.3 percent in 2017, because of the easing of drought conditions.

It is projected to fall to 12.4 percent in 2018 in Nigeria, from 16.5 percent in 2017, but then increase to 13.5 percent in 2019.
15 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” World Commodity Prices 63.

Commodity prices generally continued to strengthen in the third quarter of 2018.

Nevertheless, most agricultural prices have broadly remained unchanged since 2017, but are anticipated to increase marginally in 2018.

64.
64.

Baseline assumptions from the IMF, based on futures markets, project average crude oil price at US$69.38 per barrel in 2018 and US$68.76 per barrel in 2019, compared to the US$52.81 per barrel recorded in 2017.

Oil prices increased to about US$76.00 a barrel in first half of 2018, the highest level since November 2014, reflecting the decline in Venezuela’s output production, disruptions in Canada and Libya’s production, and expectations of lower Iranian exports due to US sanctions.
Following a decision by both the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the non-OPEC oil exporters (including Russia) to boost oil production, crude oil prices declined to about US$71.00 per barrel in October 2018.

65.
65.

According to the latest publication of the World Bank’s Commodity Price Outlook (April – October,2018) the cocoa market has tightened as the world’s two largest cocoa suppliers (Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana) experienced higher unanticipated production declines (down 6 percent and 3 percent, respectively) due to poor weather.

Therefore, the world market price of cocoa beans is estimated to reach US$2,200 per metric ton in 2018 compared to US$2,025.1 per metric ton in 2017.

66.
66.

Gold prices increased by 4 percent in the first quarter of 2018, averaging US$1,329 per troy oz attributable to stronger investment demand, rising inflation and a weakening US dollar.

Gold prices are projected to increase from US$1,293 per troy oz in 2017 to an average of US$1,346 per troy oz in 2018 before declining slightly to US$1,302 per tro oz in 2019.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ECOWAS SUB-REGION ECOWAS Macroeconomic Convergence in 2017 67.
Mr. Speaker, the the ECOWAS Commission continues macroeconomic performance of Member States and their preparedness towards the 2020 Single Currency Programme, using a set of rationalized macroeconomic criteria which was adopted at the 17th Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government in Accra on 19th May, 2015. to assess 68.

Broadly, performance of Member States under the macroeconomic convergence criteria improved in 2017, compared to the outturn in 2016.
Three (3) countries 16 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” — Guinea Bissau, Mali and Senegal — met all the primary and secondary criteria in 2017, compared to 2016 where only Liberia met all targets.

Primary criteria 69.

Under the primary criteria, general improvements were recorded in 2017 with regards to meeting the ratio of budget deficit (including grants) to GDP and gross external reserves, while the performance on the inflation criterion slackened.
The performance on the criterion regarding central bank financing of the budget deficit, however, remained unchanged.

70.

Specifically, the criterion on ratio of budget deficit (including grants) to GDP of at most 3 percent was met by seven (7) countries in 2017 compared to three (3) in 2016.

This performance was largely on account of continued fiscal consolidation efforts in Member States during the period.

71.
71.

Performance in terms of meeting the inflation criterion weakened marginally in 2017 as eleven countries (11) met the target compared to twelve (12) in the preceding year.

This development can be attributed to inflationary pressures stemming from the effects of currency depreciation and increased food and fuel prices during the 2017, financial year.

72.
72.

Performance under the criterion on central bank financing of the budget deficit remained unchanged in 2017, as thirteen (13) countries satisfied the target, same as what was recorded in 2016.

Two countries, namely Liberia and Sierra Leone could not meet this target.

73.

Achievement of the criterion on gross external reserves of at least 3 months of import cover improved in 2017, as fourteen (14) countries met the target compared to thirteen (13) in 2016.
This was underpinned by favourable balance of payments and the improved reserve accumulation efforts of Member States’ central banks.

74.

Ghana met two (2) out of the four (4) Primary Convergence Criteria in 2017.

The criteria satisfied were (a) the central bank financing of the budget deficit of not more than 10 percent of the previous year’s tax revenue; and (b) gross international reserves cover of at least three (3) months of imports.

Secondary criteria 75.


Performance under the secondary criteria also improved in 2017, particularly with countries meeting the criterion on the ratio of Debt to GDP of at most 70 percent.

The outturn with regards to the nominal exchange rate stability criterion within 17 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” the neighbourhood of 10 percent, however, remained unchanged during the review period.

76.
76.

Despite the generally increasing trend in the level of public debt in the region, twelve (12) countries met the target in 2017 compared to eleven (11) in 2016.

Achievement under the criterion on nominal exchange rate stability, remained unchanged as twelve (12) countries met the criterion.

In 2017, the domestic currencies of Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone fluctuated beyond the required range.

The Nigerian Naira has been the most volatile currency in the last two years.

77.
77.

Mr. Speaker, I am happy to report that Ghana achieved all the secondary convergence criteria in 2017 as expressed in the table 1 below.
Table 1: Ghana’s performance under the ECOWAS Rationalised Macroeconomic Convergence Criteria in 2017 S/N Convergence Criteria Target Ghana: Status in 2017 Primary Criteria 1 Budget deficit (including grants ≤ 3% 5.1%: Not achieved and on commitment basis)/GDP) 2 Average annual inflation ≤10% ; long term goal of 12.37: Not achieved ≤ 5% by 2019 3 4 Gross reserves ≥ 3 months of imports 4.8 months: Achieved Central Bank financing of budget ≤10% of previous year’s No Central Bank Financing : deficit Secondary Criteria tax revenue Achieved 5 Public debt/GDP ≤ 70% 6 Nominal exchange rate variation Source: Ministry of Finance and Bank of Ghana ± 10% 69.23%: Achieved -4.9%: Achieved ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) 78.
Ghana continues to take advantage of the ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) which came into force in January 1, 1990, with provisions for tariff reductions on unprocessed goods, handicraft and industrial products of community origin, albeit with some challenges.

The scheme, among other things, grants ECOWAS Member States market access to manufactured or processed goods produced in the ECOWAS region, without the payment of import duties or equivalent taxes.

79.
79.

Over the last two and half decades, most of the goods traded under the ETLS have been light manufacturing and agro-processed products from mainly nine 18 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” countries, namely, Ghana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Mali and Niger.

80.

At the end of the third quarter of 2018, 37 companies and 101 products were approved under the ETLS.
Five (5) enterprises with 12 products were approved in January 2018; 20 enterprises with 50 products in June 2018; and 12 enterprises with 39 products in September 2018.

It is expected that more approvals will be granted by the end of the fourth quarter.

81.
81.

The implementation of the ETLS has, however, been fraught with many challenges, including ineffective operationalization of the ETLS Protocol by member states, inadequate sensitization of businesses on the ETLS, low compliance levels, policy incoherence in member states, high number of physical barriers along corridors, harassment of traders by some security agencies, trade control policy instruments such as bans and quotas, institutional weaknesses and lack of political will.

82.
82.

The success of the ETLS requires strong political will of Governments and concerted efforts of Member States to implement the Protocol.

In this regard, Government will deploy pragmatic actions in consultation with key stakeholders to remove these bottlenecks against the Scheme, which include but are not limited to workshops and seminars to build capacity of all relevant authorized agencies.
Government will also collaborate and coordinate with MDAs, other public service institutions and private sector organizations that are key to the success of the Scheme.

Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) 83.


Ghana ratified the Ghana-EU Stepping Stone Economic Partnership Agreement (commonly referred to as the Interim Economic Partnership) in August 2016 to enable Ghanaian exporters to continue to enjoy duty-free and IEPA quota-free (DFQF) EU market access and protect the future of Ghana’s exports to the EU Market.

84.
84.

The IEPA Accompanying Measures Strategy (AMS), which was finalized in September 2017, provides the roadmap and strategic framework to ensure that Ghana fully maximizes the opportunities and meets the challenges of implementing the EPA.

The strategy identifies and prioritizes projects and programmes which would best enable Ghana to maximize the EPA benefits and mitigate its costs.

19 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 85.
A joint EPA Implementation Committee has been established and funds have been secured from the EU to commence and operationalize implementation of the IEPA AMS for Ghana.

Thus, the EU has agreed to support Ghana with a grant facility (800,000 Euros) for the establishment of an IEPA Secretariat, as well as an additional Technical Assistance Facility (2.2millions Euros) to ensure institutional strengthening, capacity building, improve competitiveness, standards and quality infrastructure.
The Project ``Compete Ghana Project`` which is 48 months project would be administered by Ministry of Trade and Industry.

86.

Noting that regional integration is a key goal of the EPA, the iEPA Accompanying Measures Strategy further targets measures aimed at strengthening Ghana’s contribution to, and gains from, regional economic integration in West Africa.

Implementation of ECOWAS Common External Tariff (CET) 87.
Mr. Speaker, Ghana continues to play an important role in the adoption and implementation of the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (CET), which is considered a major platform for the establishment of a customs union that will facilitate free trade and advance greater economic integration within the sub- region.

The implementation of the CET is expected to address the problem of cross-border smuggling, combat dumping, and bring economic benefits to the people of the sub-region.

88.
88.

Mr. Speaker, to improve efficiency and transparency in the exemptions regime in ECOWAS, Ghana is currently working with the ECOWAS Commission to develop policy guidelines that will provide legal framework for the harmonisation and consolidation of all customs duty reliefs in the Community.

Presidential Task Force on the ECOWAS Monetary Corporation Programme 89.
Mr. Speaker, Ghana remained firmly committed to the ECOWAS 2020 Single Currency Programme, as amply demonstrated in its pivotal role in the activities of the Presidential Task Force.

To this end, the country hosted the Fifth (5th) Meeting of the Presidential Task Force on the ECOWAS Single Currency Programme in Accra on 21st February 2018, preceded by the technical meeting held on 17th and 18th February 2018.
The Sixth (6th) and Seventh (7th) meeting of the Presidential Taskforce took place in Niamey, Niger and Lome, Togo respectively.

20 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 90.

During the fifth (5th) meeting, the revised road map towards the 2020 single currency deadline was approved with a seed capital of US$6 million.
The Presidential Task Force recommended the following: ● reaffirmed their political will to meet the ECOWAS Single Currency Programme deadline by 2020; ● reaffirmed Member States commitment to ratify and implement all relevant ECOWAS protocols and conventions; ● reaffirmed the gradual approach where Member States which meet the convergence criteria can start the monetary union while the other countries can join later; ● welcomed the progress made by the Member States and encouraged them to continue the efforts toward meeting the convergence criteria and strengthening the multilateral surveillance mechanism; ● adopted the revised roadmap for accelerating of the creation of the ECOWAS Single Currency by 2020; instructed all the stakeholders to implement the revised roadmap; ● ● reaffirmed their commitment to fund the ECOWAS Single Currency ● Programme by Member States and their Central Banks; invites the Committee of Governors and Convergence Council to hold quarterly meetings on the progress of implementation of planned activities and to regularly report at their biannual sessions.
West African Monetary Zone Statutory Meetings (WAMZ) 91.

Mr. Speaker, the mid-year West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) Statutory Meetings was held in Abuja, Nigeria, during September 10-14, 2018.

Ghana will host the 2018 end of year WAMZ Statutory meetings in Accra, from January 31– February 8, 2019.

The Ministry of Finance in collaboration with key stakeholders, has therefore, constituted a Planning Committee to coordinate the effective organization of the 2018 End-Year WAMZ Statutory meetings.

The WAMZ is currently assisting the ECOWAS Commission to accelerate implementation of ECOWAS integration programmes including; the revised roadmap on single currency activities, WAMZ payment systems and trade integration.

Implications of Global Developments for Ghana’s Economy 93.

Sustained external imbalances in the world’s major economies may impede global stability in the near term.
The fiscal easing in the United States has led to a tightening of monetary conditions, a stronger US dollar, and a larger US current account deficit.

These developments may heighten trade tensions, resulting in tighter global financing conditions and negatively impact emerging market and developing economies, especially those with weak external positions.

21 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 94.
Higher United States interest rates and a stronger dollar could also heighten the risks of financial market challenges, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies.

More specifically, the probability of a large reversal in foreign flows in sub-Saharan Africa is high as US interest rates go up.

95.

Trade tensions and the move away from rules-based trading since January 2018 by key economies, particularly the United States and its partners are key threats to the global outlook.
Trade actions and threats originating from ongoing renegotiations of major free trade agreements including North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the economic arrangements between the United Kingdom and the European Union, have created uncertainty about future trade costs.

Further increase in trade tensions can dampen business and financial market sentiments, trigger financial market volatility, and slow investment and trade.

96.
96.

As we transition into a period of “Ghana Beyond Aid”, the implications of these global developments will be monitored closely, and the appropriate policies implemented to mitigate any negative contagion effects on the economy.

22 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” SECTION THREE: MACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCE FOR JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2018 OVERALL MACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCE 97.
Mr. Speaker, following the strong performance of the economy in 2017, our prudent management of the economy continued to yield positive outcomes in 2018.

Sustained improvements in macroeconomic stabilisation efforts have been recognised both domestically and internationally, including by the IMF and the international credit rating agencies.
As a result of this achievement, in May 2018, Ghana’s Finance Minister won the prestigious Best Finance Minister for Africa in recognition of his role in restoring macroeconomic stability and renewed confidence in the Ghanaian economy.

98.

Mr. Speaker, in September 2018, the S&P Global Ratings upgraded Ghana’s long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings from B- with stable outlook to B with stable outlook.
The upgrade reflects Ghana’s sound which is supported by a credible inflation-targeting framework.

Mr. Speaker, in the course of the year, the Ghana Statistical Service, the country’s official compiler of economic statistics, released new series on Ghana’s economic output performance, namely the gross domestic product (GDP) to replace the old series from 2013 to the second quarter of 2018.

Consequently, the assessment of the 2018 performance will be based on these new data series 99.
Mr. Speaker, to put the assessment of the performance of the economy for the first nine months of 2018 in the proper context, we first re-state the macroeconomic targets set for 2018 as presented in the revised 2018 Budget: ● Overall Real GDP growth rate of 5.6 percent; ● Non-Oil Real GDP growth rate of 5.8 percent; ● End-period inflation of 8.9 percent; ● Fiscal deficit of 3.7 percent of GDP; ● Primary surplus of 1.4 percent of GDP; and ● Gross International Reserves to cover not less than 3.5 months of imports of goods and services.
100.
Mr. Speaker, available data up to the end of September 2018, indicates that Ghana’s economic health is in good shape as attested by the following macroeconomic performance indicators: ● Using the new rebased GDP series as stated above, overall real GDP grew by 5.4 percent in the first half of 2018 compared to the annual target of 5.6 23 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” percent, while non-oil real GDP grew by 4.6 percent compared to the annual target of 5.8 percent; ● The end-period inflation rate reduced from 11.8 percent at the end of 2017 to 9.5 percent at the end of October 2018; ● The fiscal deficit was 3.0 percent of GDP at the end of September 2018 compared to a target of 2.7 percent; ● The primary balance recorded a surplus of 0.5 percent of rebased GDP compared a target of 0.9 percent of GDP for the period; ● The public debt including the financial sector bail out costs at the end of September 2018 was 57.4 percent of GDP.
Excluding bail out costs, the debt was 53.9 percent of GDP; ● The monetary policy rate reduced from 20 percent at the end of 2017 to 17 percent at the end of October 2018; ● The trade balance for the period recorded a surplus of US$1,617.81 million, compared to a surplus of US$777.82 million recorded for the same period in 2017; ● Gross International reserves accumulated to US$6,756.43 million sufficient to cover to 3.6 months of imports, down from US$7,554.84 million with a coverage of 3.9 months at the end of 2017.
The end-September 2018 performance, nonetheless, marginally exceeded the 2018 target of at least 3.5 months of import cover; ● The exchange rate posted an appreciation against the US Dollar in May 2018, but depreciated by 7.57 percent at the end of September 2018, largely on account of external pressures, including the strengthening of the US dollar globally, the US-China trade war, and the US Fed policy rate hikes.
Compared to other comparable emerging economies, Ghana was able to weather the storm better.

The Argentina Peso depreciated by 50.2 percent, South Africa Rand depreciated by 15.7 percent, the Brazilian Real by 18.3 percent, the India Rupee by 11.2 percent, and the Turkish Lira by 42 percent.

101.

Mr. Speaker, we will now provide the detailed performance in the real, monetary, external and fiscal sectors of the economy.

REAL SECTOR PERFORMANCE GDP Rebasing 102.


Mr. Speaker, the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) released a rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on 28th September, 2018, with the base year used for constant price estimates changed from 2006 to 2013.

24 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 103.
In addition to the need to conform to best practice in terms of rebasing frequency, the rebasing exercise was also informed by the need to move from the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA 1993), which underpinned the 2006 base year, to the 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA 2008) in order to align with our peers.

The classification system was also changed from the United Nations’ International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Revision 3 to Revision 4.

104.
104.

Mr. Speaker, additionally, the availability of new and improved data from the Integrated Business Establishment Survey (IBES, 2013), Ghana Living Standards Survey [GLSS 6 & 7 (2012/2013 & 2016/2017)], the Ghana Labour Force Survey (2015), and secondary data from MMDAs, among others, provided a basis for the revision of the base year from 2006 to 2013.

105.
105.

Mr. Speaker, the rebased series factored in, for the first time, fruits and vegetables, thereby increasing the number of indicator crops to 27, up from the 12 used in the 2006 base year.

Similarly, there was an increase in the number of manufacturing establishments from 23,797 in the 2006 base year to 99,437 in the 2013 base year.
Furthermore, improved technology resulted in a reduction in the mining sector’s intermediate consumption leading to an increase in the mining sectors’ contribution to GDP in the 2013 base year series.

106.

Mr. Speaker, the rebasing of the GDP resulted in the expansion of the economy by 24.6 percent in 2017, increasing the nominal GDP from GHS205,914 million to GHS256,671 million.

107.
107.

Mr. Speaker, based on the new base year of 2013, real GDP growth in 2017 was 8.1 percent, compared with 3.4 percent in 2016 as shown in Figure 1.

In the remainder of the document, performances and ratios will be based on the new series.
25 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Figure 1: Annual Real GDP Growth (Old and New Base Years), 2014- 2017 8.5 8.1 4.0 3.8 2.9 2.2 3.7 3.4 t n e c r e P 9.0 8.0 7.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 old new old new old new old new 2014 2015 2016 2017 Source: Ghana Statistical Service (provisional) Sector Growth Performance 108.
Mr. Speaker, the 2017 growth of 8.1 percent resulted from 6.1 percent, 15.7 percent and 3.3 percent growth rates in the Agriculture, Industry and Services Sectors, respectively.

Agriculture 109.

The Agriculture Sector growth of 6.1 percent in 2017 was more than double the 2.9 percent growth recorded in 2016.
This was largely driven in part by a 7.0 percent growth in the non-cocoa Crops subsector (facilitated by the roll-out of the Planting for Food and Jobs Programme), compared to the 0.3 percent growth recorded in 2016.

The strong performance in the Crops subsector was also driven by a 9.2 percent growth in Cocoa production, after two successive years of output declines of 8.0 percent in 2015 and 7.0 percent in 2016.

110.
110.

Mr. Speaker, apart from the Fishing subsector, which declined (-1.4 percent, compared to 3.1 percent in 2016), the Livestock as well as the Forestry and Logging subsectors experienced positive growth rates in the year 2017, as shown in Table 2.

Mr. Speaker, the Industry Sector grew by 15.7 percent in 2017, mostly on account of a 30.8 percent increase in Mining and Quarrying (M&Q) activities, a tremendous turnaround from the decline of 0.2 percent in 2016.
The M&Q growth was driven principally by an 80.3 percent growth in upstream oil and gas activities during the period under review, compared to a decline of 15.6 percent in 2016.

The increase in oil production was accounted for by the commencement of crude oil production on the Sankofa-Gye Nyame (SGN) and increased production from the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) as well as the Jubilee Fields.

112.
112.

The Manufacturing subsector grew by 9.5 percent in 2017, compared with 7.9 percent in 2016, while the Electricity subsector grew by 19.4 percent, up from a decline of 5.8 percent in 2016.

The Water and Sewerage subsector also grew by 6.1 percent in 2017, up from a decline of 11.8 percent in 2016, with the Construction subsector growing by 5.1 percent, down from 8.4 percent in 2016, as shown in Table 3.

The Services Sector grew by 3.3 percent in 2017, up from 2.8 percent in 2016.
This growth was in spite of a 17.7 percent decline in the Financial and Insurance Activities subsector, which was counteracted by relatively high growth in the Trade; Repair of Vehicles, Household Goods and Hotels and Restaurants subsectors Table 4: Services Growth ITEM 2014 2015 2016 2017 Percent SERVICES Trade; Repair of Vehicles, Household Goods Hotels and Restaurants Transport and Storage Information and communication Financial and Insurance Activities Real Estate Professional, Administrative & Support Service activities Public Administration & Defence; Social Security Education Health and Social Work Other Service Activities 5.4 2.0 1.5 5.8 29.7 21.4 -0.3 6.8 -3.5 -0.3 2.7 1.4 3.0 0.5 4.1 2.6 11.9 12.9 3.1 1.4 -2.6 -0.5 -4.4 2.7 2.8 -0.4 2.3 1.1 5.6 8.0 3.2 -4.2 8.9 2.3 4.0 -0.1 3.3 8.2 7.6 8.9 4.2 -17.7 3.8 2.9 4.2 6.3 14.1 5.3 Source: Ghana Statistical Services and Ministry of Finance Structure of the Economy 114.
Mr. Speaker, the rebasing of the GDP has revealed some structural changes in the economy, with the Agriculture and Industry Sectors increasing their respective shares at the expense of the Services Sector.

The Services sector share of GDP declined from 56.2 percent (on the old base year) to 45.6 percent (on the new base year) in 2017.

The Industry Sector, on the other hand, increased from 25.2 percent (on the old base year) to 33.2 percent (on the new base year).
Similarly, the Agriculture Sector’s share of GDP increased from 18.3 percent (on the old base year) to 21.2 percent (on the new base year).

115.

This notwithstanding, the Industry Sector was the only sector that witnessed an increase in its shares in 2017 over 2016 (new base year), as shown in Figure 2.
28 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Figure 2: Sector Distribution of GDP, 2013-2017 t n e c r e P old new old new old new old new old new 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Agriculture Industry Services Source: Ghana Statistical Service (provisional) 2018 Half-Year Performance 116.
Mr. Speaker, GSS has published GDP growth for the first two quarters of 2018, based on the new 2013 base year.

Provisional estimates peg the first quarter overall GDP growth at 5.4 percent, same as the second quarter.

These are below the growth rates of 7.4 percent and 11.1 percent recorded in the first and second quarters of 2017, respectively.
Non-Oil GDP growth for 2018 was 4.4 percent and 4.3 percent for the first and second quarters, respectively, compared to 6.2 percent and 6.5 percent for the corresponding quarters in 2017.

117.

The Agriculture Sector grew by 4.7 and 4.8 percent in the first and second quarters, respectively, compared with 6.8 percent and 3.8 percent in the first and second quarters, respectively, in 2017.
The Industry Sector also grew by 10.4 percent and 11.1 percent in the first and second quarters, respectively, compared with 15.3 percent and 20.8 percent in the corresponding periods in 2017.

Growth in the Services Sector, however, was subdued, recording 1.4 percent and 0.5 percent in the first and second quarters of 2018, compared with 1.4 percent and 6.8 percent in the analogous periods in 2017.

Gauging Economic Activity using Trends in the CIEA 118.
Mr. Speaker, economic activity continued to strengthen as indicated by the Bank of Ghana’s Composite Index of Economic Activity (CIEA).

In real terms, the CIEA recorded an annual growth of 6.6 percent in July 2018 compared to 2.1 percent in the corresponding period of 2017.

This was mainly supported by strong export growth, domestic VAT, industrial consumption of electricity, cement sales and tourist arrivals.
29 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” MONETARY SECTOR PERFORMANCE Price Developments 119.

Mr. Speaker, headline and core inflation have generally trended downwards in 2018.

Headline inflation dropped to 9.8 per cent in September 2018, down from 12.2 per cent recorded in September 2017 and 11.8 per cent in December 2017.

The decline in inflation was mainly driven by non-food prices on account of relatively stable exchange rate developments.
Non-food inflation fell to (10.3 per cent in September 2018 from 14.1 per cent in September 2017and 13.6 per cent in December 2017).

However, food inflation went up marginally by 0.6 percentage points over the 12-month period to September 2018.

Contributions to the overall consumer price index showed moderation in all the sub-indices in September 2018, with the exception of food & beverages which exerted slight upward pressure on inflation.

120.
120.

Mr. Speaker, the Bank of Ghana’s main core measure of inflation, which excludes energy and utility prices, declined to 10.8 per cent in September 2018 from 12.8 per cent in September 2017, indicating an easing of underlying inflationary pressures.

Monetary and Credit Developments 121.

Mr. Speaker, broad money supply growth, including foreign currency deposits (M2+) was 24.1 percent in September 2018 compared with 23.1 percent in September 2017.
Broad money supply, excluding foreign currency (M2), grew by 25.3 percent in September 2018 compared with 25.4 percent in September 2017.

In terms of sources, the growth in money supply was driven by Net Domestic Assets (NDA) of the banking system, which expanded by 37.2 percent in September 2018, up from 2.6 percent in September 2017.

The growth in NDA was on account of claims on the private sector.
Net Foreign Assets (NFA) of the banking system contracted by 5.8 percent in September 2018, driven by NFA of the deposit money banks (DMBs).

122.

The growth in M2+ reflected in all the components, with the exception of savings and time deposits which grew at a slower pace of 19.6 percent in September 2018 compared to a growth of 38.8 percent in September 2017.

Foreign currency deposits rose by 20.3 percent in September 2018 compared with 16.1 percent recorded a year ago.
Reserve money grew by 16.6 percent in September, up from 12.5 percent in September 2017.

30 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 123. Credit Developments Mr. Speaker, the pace of expansion in banks’ total outstanding credit increased in the 12-month period to September 2018.

Total outstanding credit increased by 13.0 percent (GH¢4,733.8 million) compared with 7.9 percent (GH¢2,652.2 million) in September 2017.
At the end of September 2018, total stock of outstanding credit was GH¢41,126.6 million compared with GH¢36,392.9 million in September 2017.

The share of total outstanding credit to the private sector increased to 89.1 percent of the total credit from the 85.9 percent in September 2017.

124. Credit to the private sector increased by 17.2 percent in September 2018, up from 9.6 percent in September 2017.
In real terms, growth of credit to the private sector showed a strong recovery, registering a growth of 6.8 percent in September 2018 compared to a contraction of 2.3 percent in September 2017.

Most of the credit to the private sector was absorbed by the commerce and finance, services, transport, storage and communication, and manufacturing sub-sectors.

Interest Rate Developments 125.

Mr. Speaker, interest rates eased downward in line with the reduction in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR).
The interbank weighted average lending rate for instance declined by 4.71 percentage points to 16.23 percent between September 2017 and September 2018.

126.

Mr. Speaker, rates on most treasury securities also declined over the period.
On year-on-year basis, the rates on the 182-day, 3-year, 5-year, 7-year and the 10- year notes declined respectively by 0.4, 0.75, 1.75, 3.5 and 1.5 percentage points to 14.03, 17.50, 16.50, 16.25 and 17.50 percent respectively in September 2018 as inflation expectations remain generally well-anchored.

The rates on the 91- day Treasury bill and 1-year note, however firmed up by 0.18 and 1.00 percentage points respectively to 13.37 and 18.00 percent.

127.
127.

Deposits and lending rates of the Deposit Money Banks also went down.

While the 3-month time deposit rate fell by 1.50 percentage point to 11.5 percent, the lending rate also dropped by 1.48 percentage point to 27.49 percent in September 2018.

EXTERNAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENTS 128.

Mr. Speaker, the provisional trade balance for the period January-September 2018 recorded a surplus of US$1,617.81 million compared to a surplus of US$777.82 million recorded for the same period in 2017.
31 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 129.

Mr. Speaker, during the review period, the value of merchandise exports was provisionally estimated at US$11,316.95 million, indicating an increase of US$1,229.46 million or 12.19 percent growth compared with US$10,087.49 million recorded for the same period in 2017.

The increase was attributable to improvement in export receipts from oil and non-traditional exports.
Total value of merchandise imports for the period January to September 2018 was also up by 3.8 percent to an estimated US$9,666.16 million, compared to US$9,309.66 million recorded in 2017.

This was driven by increased demand for both oil and non-oil imports.

Mr. Speaker, the current account balance as at September 2018 recorded a deficit of 1.4 per cent of GDP compared to a deficit of 2.0 percent of GDP for September 2017. International Reserves 130.
The above developments resulted in a drawdown of the country’s gross international reserves by US$798.41 million to US$6,756.43 million at the end of September 2018 from a stock position of US$7,554.84 million at the end of December 2017.

This was sufficient to provide for 3.6 months of imports cover compared with 3.9 months of imports cover as at December 2017.

Exchange Rate Developments 131.


Mr. Speaker, the cedi’s strong performance against the major international currencies in the year to April 2018 gave way to some form of pressures between May and September, which was largely driven by external factors.

In particular, the United States monetary policy normalization led to a stronger US dollar and rising yields on US treasury instruments which impacted adversely on emerging market assets.
These developments resulted in tighter financing conditions and capital flow reversals in a number of emerging market and frontier economies, including Ghana.

In addition to the external developments, domestic demand pressures for foreign exchange by corporates for trade settlement also affected the performance of the local currency.

Speculative trading was also a contributory factor to the pressures observed.

132.
132.

Mr. Speaker, in the event, the cedi as at September 2018 recorded a cumulative depreciation of 7.57 percent against the US dollar compared to 4.42 percent depreciation during the same period in 2017.

Against other major foreign currencies, the cedi recorded a cumulative depreciation of 4.38 percent against the Euro and 3.98 percent against the Pound Sterling.
These compare favourably to the 14.58 percent and 11.87 percent depreciation against the Euro and Pound Sterling respectively during the same period in 2017.

32 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 133.

Mr. Speaker, in October 2018, the cedi stabilized, benefiting from positive sentiments on the market as a result of the cocoa syndicated loan inflow.
On the Inter-Bank Market, while the currency strengthened against the Euro and the Pound Sterling by 2.2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, it depreciated by some 0.3 percent against the U.S. Dollar.

Cumulatively, as at the end of October 2018, the cedi had depreciated by 7.81 percent, 2.37 percent and 2.26 percent against the U.S. Dollar, the Pound Sterling and the Euro, respectively.

FINANCIAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENTS 134.


Mr. Speaker, the Financial Sector is critical to the functioning and development of the economy.

The Sector comprises developments in the Banking Sector, Capital Markets, Insurance and Pension industries.

135.

The Sector in recent times has been faced with several challenges including inadequate capitalization and poor corporate governance practices.

Efforts to address the systemic risk in the financial sector are comprehensive.
Government is working to strengthen the supervisory and regulatory framework for the industry.

In the short term, risk management and corporate governance frameworks are being strengthened across the sector.

The increase in minimum capital requirements for banking, insurance and capital market operators will also strengthen the industry.

136.

Mr. Speaker, over the medium-term, Government will also enhance the framework for transparency in the sector.
Under the Government’s financial sector project that will start in 2019, Government will work to help establish a domestic credit rating agency with private sector participation and establish the financial stability council which will be supported by a financial services data centre.

Government will also work with the National Insurance Commission (NIC) to pass a new insurance Act for the industry.

Banking Industry Developments 137.


Mr. Speaker, the banking sector in Ghana has in the past few years been undergoing some turmoil arising from inadequate capital, high levels of Non- Performing Loans (NPLs) owing to poor liquidity and credit risk management controls, and weak corporate governance structures.

138.

Generally, the entire banking industry as at end-April 2018 continued to be safe and sound despite the decline in some key financial sector indicators.
Industry- wide, the banks were solvent and liquid, although signs of weakness still remained.

Asset quality continued to be a source of concern specifically with some selected banks.

33 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 139.

The 2016 Asset Quality Review (AQR) of banks conducted by the Bank of Ghana revealed some indigenous banks as vulnerable with inadequate capital, high levels of NPLs, weak corporate governance.
There was also evidence of aggressive risk taking, inter-company related lending, lax supervision and monitoring among other banking irregularities.

140.

Some of the banks could only survive on liquidity support from BoG, which was done to ensure that the payment system was not disrupted.

This eventually led to the failure of seven banks, with potentially adverse consequences for depositors, creditors, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
It was critically important that these distressed banks were made to exit the financial system in a timely and orderly fashion to avoid contagion for the rest of the financial system.

Therefore, Government had to intervene to protect about 1.5 million depositors which included institutional depositors, and pension funds amounting to over GH¢7.

6 billion, and to protect jobs.

141.
Specific actions taken included: a) the revocation of licenses of two insolvent banks in August 2017 and the approval of the acquisition by GCB Bank of some of their assets and liabilities under a Purchase and Assumption Agreement; b) the consolidation of five insolvent banks to form the Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG Limited) in 2018; c) capitalization of CBG Limited with a cash amount of GH¢450 Million; and d) the issuance of a medium to long term bond to cover the net liabilities that would be assumed by the new bank.
142.

The Bank of Ghana is taking steps to ensure that all relevant parties whose actions contributed to the failure of the insolvent banks are held accountable through administrative, civil, and criminal actions as appropriate.

Outlook for the Banking Industry 143.

Mr. Speaker, to further strengthen the banking sector to ensure safety and soundness, the Bank of Ghana will continue with the final phase of implementing the Basel II/III supervisory framework.
This will be done with greater focus on banks’ corporate governance and risk management practices and implement decisive actions in specialized deposit-taking institutions.

to address vulnerabilities 144.

The Bank of Ghana will also revise the risk-based supervisory framework for examining banks to keep pace with the changing risk landscape of the banking environment.
To ensure that depositors’ funds remain protected and to insulate the budget from costs associated with banking sector disruption, the Ghana Deposit Protection Scheme would become fully operational in 2019.

34 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Capital Market Developments 145.

Mr. Speaker, Capital market development is critical for private sector led growth, entrepreneurship and infrastructure expansion.
Government is committed to reforms in the capital market that will enable access to long term funds and promote transparency.

This is expected to substantially increase the industry’s share of GDP, which is currently estimated at about 12.1% of the rebased GDP to about 60% over the medium term.

146.
146.

Total Asset under management, including pension funds and collective investment schemes, increased from GH₵ 31.1 billion at the end of December 2017 to GH₵ 35.7 billion at end of June 2018, representing an increase of 15%.

The number of fund managers decreased marginally from 155 in 2017 to 148 as of September 2018.

On the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), total market capitalization recorded GH¢ 64.3m in October 2018 compared with GH¢58.8m in 2017, representing a year to date growth of 9.4%.
In terms of market performance, the GSE Composite Index recorded an increase of 2,844.78 points in October 2018 as compared with 2,579.72 points in Dec 2017, representing a year to date growth of 10.3%.

It is worthy to note that the total value of equities traded on the GSE has been on the ascendancy since 2016, increasing from GH¢242 million in 2016 to GH¢519 million in 2017 representing a growth rate of 114.5%.
The value of corporate bonds listed stood at GH¢6,598.22 million as of September 2018 compared with GH¢6,643.94 million in December 2017.

148.

Mr. Speaker, the GSE witnessed a modest growth in terms of listings, notable amongst them being MTN and Energy Commercial Bank.

A number of Banks used the capital market to raise the required capital through right issues and bonus issues to meet the Bank of Ghana’s minimum capital requirement of GH¢400 million.
A member of the GN Group, Digicut, listed on the Ghana Alternative Exchange (GAX), bringing the number of companies listed on the GAX to 5 as of September 2018.

149.

The fixed income market saw an uptick of listings including approvals granted to ARB Apex Bank to raise debt capital to finance loans and advances to Rural and Community Banks.
To strengthen the investment advisory business in the country, about four banks were granted issuing house licenses to enable them arrange and underwrite security issuances.

150.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has developed and commenced the implementation of guidelines on private funds which is to attract 35 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” much needed investments from private equity firms to boost Government’s drive towards job creation and infrastructural development.
Outlook for the Capital Market 151.

Mr. Speaker, the Government has constituted a Capital Market Working Group (CMWG) to develop a comprehensive 10-Year Capital Market Master Plan for the country.

The Plan will provide a strategic framework for the transformation of the capital market.

SEC has also finalized work on the Real Estate Investment (REITs) guidelines and will officially start its implementation in 2019.

Insurance Industry Developments 152.


Mr. Speaker, the importance of the insurance industry cannot be over emphasized.

The industry provides risk coverage for individuals and businesses and makes available a pool of long term funds for investment in real and financial assets.

153.

The Life Insurance sector had total investments of GH¢2.5billion of which fixed deposits with licensed banks constituted GH¢804million, while GH¢288million of fixed deposits are with the Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs).
The Non-Life Insurance sector had total investments of GH¢1.3billion as at second quarter, 2018 as compared to GH¢945million in 2017.

Of the total investments, term deposits with licensed banks constituted GH¢482million while term deposits with NBFIs stood at GH¢150million.

The Reinsurance sector recorded total investments of GH¢485million compared to GH¢368million in 2017.

154.

The industry currently employs 12, 800 people with the Non-Life sector leading with 2,198 employees.
The Life sector has 2,150 employees and about 8,000 agents.

The reinsurance sector employs 102 persons and the rest with insurance brokers.

Outlook for the Insurance Industry 155.

Mr. Speaker, ongoing initiatives in the industry are expected to engender further growth in the sector.

In 2019, the National Insurance Commission will implement the electronic Motor Insurance Database to address the problem of fraudulent motor insurance stickers.
Key stakeholders including the Police will have access to confirm the authenticity of motor insurance policies and to ensure that that all vehicles plying our roads are appropriately insured.

It will also announce new minimum capital requirements for the industry to address the challenge of low capitalization.

Appropriate transitional arrangement and date will be made to facilitate compliance by Industry players.

36 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Pension Industry Developments 156.
Mr. Speaker, the implementation of the pension reform in 2009, diversified the pensions landscape with the introduction of private Trustees, custodians and fund managers to administer the 2nd and 3rd Tiers under the 3-Tier structure.

This has created opportunities for sustainable employment in the pensions sector.

Currently, it is estimated that over 4,500 people are directly employed as Trustees, Fund Managers and Fund Custodians.
This is expected to grow as the industry continues to expand to the informal sector and other underserved groups.

157.

Mr. Speaker, Pension funds under the 3-Tier Scheme have seen significant growth over the past few years.

In 2017, total assets reached GH₵ 20,794,318,469.40, representing about 32% annual growth from the previous year.

Total assets are projected to exceed GH₵ 25 billion by the close of 2018.

Outlook for the Pension Industry 158.


Mr. Speaker, The National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA) projects total pensions assets will increase to about GH¢34 billion by the end of 2019.

This requires that regulations are stepped up to protect and secure pensions funds to guarantee retirement income security for workers in Ghana.

To this end, the NPRA will build internal capacity through training, automation of their operations and the adoption of a risk-based supervision framework.
It will also decentralize its operations through the establishment of regional offices, improve visibility and training of pensions service providers.

Public education will be enhanced to cover the informal sector.

FISCAL DEVELOPMENTS 159.

Mr. Speaker, fiscal consolidation and sustainability is one of the key macroeconomic issues currently facing many developed and developing economies around the world.
In view of this, our overarching fiscal policy objective over the past two years has focused on consolidating our public finances as a precursor to achieving a declining debt path.

160.

With this objective in mind, the 2018 Budget set the overall fiscal balance as the primary anchor and targeted a reduction in the fiscal deficit from 4.8 percent of GDP in 2017 to 3.7 percent in 2018.
At the same time, the fiscal framework was calibrated to yield a larger primary surplus relative to the 2017 outturn, and to ultimately lower the rate of debt accumulation.

161.

Mr. Speaker, to safeguard our fiscal policy objectives for 2018, Government presented a package of revenue measures to this august House during the Mid- 37 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” year Fiscal Policy Review of the 2018 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
These measures took into consideration, firstly, the need to improve the sluggish revenue performance that had been observed during the first five months of the year and, secondly, to address the low non-oil Tax-to-GDP ratio as compared to peer middle income economies—fluctuating in a narrow band of between 11.9 and 12.2 percent of GDP over the past three years—owing mainly to structural deficiencies in the tax administration system.
Specifically: i. the GETFund and the NHIL were decoupled from the Input-Output VAT mechanism and converted into straight levies with rates of 2.5% each; ii.

a Luxury Vehicle Levy on motor vehicles above engine capacity of 3,000cc was introduced; and iii.

an additional Personal Income Tax band of 35 percent for monthly incomes in excess of GH¢10,000 was introduced.

162.
162.

Mr. Speaker, these revenue measures complement on-going tax administration reforms as well as compliance efforts, without jeopardising Government’s decision to use tax policy as a tool to support production.

163.

Additionally, expenditure efficiency measures and reforms are also being vigorously pursued, especially in the area of payroll management which has been a major challenge for various Governments.
To address this challenge, the Public Services Commission is to rollout the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) across all Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The successful rollout and usage of this Human Resource (HR) tool is expected to bring about better Establishment control and, ultimately, lead to better control over payroll expenditure.

164.
164.

Mr. Speaker, Section 24 of the PFM Act, 2016 (Act 921) states that, “the revenues and expenditures of Government shall be entered in the annual estimates of revenue and expenditure on a gross basis without being netted with each other, except that tax revenue shall be entered in the annual estimates of revenue and expenditure after deducting the estimated amount of tax refunds from the tax revenue”.

165.
165.

Mr. Speaker, following this provision, the fiscal framework, including those of the previous years, have accordingly been calibrated to be consistent with the law.

166.

Mr. Speaker, against this backdrop, provisional data on Government’s fiscal operations from January to September 2018 indicate that Domestic Revenue grew by 15.9 percent on per annum basis and reached GH¢31,675.5 million compared to GH¢27,325.0 million during the same period in 2017.
The nominal 38 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” increase was partially contributed by Direct Taxes on the back of strengthening economic activity as well as higher receipts from upstream petroleum activities.

That notwithstanding, the overall revenue performance for the period continued to be sluggish relative to the programme target.

Total Revenue and Grants was 9.5 percent below target.
On the other hand, expenditures were generally lower than programmed, although some overruns were observed on specific expenditure lines including Use of Goods and Services and Wages and Salaries.

These operations resulted in a fiscal deficit of 3.0 percent of GDP compared to a deficit target of 2.6 percent of GDP as shown in Table 5.

167.
167.

Mr. Speaker, the cost associated with the one-off financial sector bailout to the two resolved and the five consolidated banks has had immense impact on Government’s fiscal operations.

However, this is the safest way to safeguard a financial system that has potential to partner the private sector and Government to drive economic growth.

Mr. Speaker, Total Revenue and Grants for January to September 2018 accounted for 65.6 percent of the revised annual Budget target and amounted to GH¢32,201.4 million, equivalent to 10.8 percent of GDP, compared to a revised programmed target of GH¢35,599.1 million, equivalent to 11.9 percent of GDP.

Even though the outturn is 9.5 percent below the programmed target, it represents a 12.8 percent growth on an annual basis.
Of this amount, total Domestic Revenue which comprises all revenues except Grants received from 39 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Donor Partners amounted to GH¢31,675.5 million compared to a target of GH¢35,094.6 million.

The shortfall in Domestic Revenue was mainly due to the underperformance of both non-oil Tax and Non-Tax revenues which together accounted for the entire shortfall in Domestic Revenue.

169.
169.

Mr. Speaker, total Tax Revenue lodged at the Bank of Ghana for the period amounted to GH¢25,853.7 million and constituted 68.5 percent of the annual revised target.

Of this amount, total non-oil Tax Revenue amounted to GH¢24,385.2 million against a programmed target of GH¢26,829.2 million.

Despite being 9.1 percent below target, a positive deviation was observed on Direct taxes, reflecting partly, gains from the impact of the strengthened economic activities.
This was, however, muted by an acute non-performance from Indirect and International Trade taxes and levies.
Specifically, the shortfall from both domestic and external VAT alone constituted about 81 percent of the total Tax Revenue shortfall of GH¢1,830.0 million and are explained by a) consistently low realised non-oil import CIF values, b) admittance of large volumes of imports into exempt or low tariff (zero-rated) categories, c) increase in re-exports of ex-warehoused products, and d) the current exemptions regime—all of which are being the delayed implementation of some revenue interventions such as the roll out of the electronic fiscal devices, also contributed to the revenue shortfall observed in non-oil Tax Revenue.
investigated.

Additionally, 170.

Mr. Speaker, receipts from upstream petroleum activities received a boost from unanticipated Corporate Income Taxes from oil.

As a result, the proceeds from this tax category amounted to GH¢3,272 million against a target of GH¢2,497.2 million.

171.
171.

Mr. Speaker, as shown in Table 6, the lower-than-programmed Non-Tax Revenue for the period was mainly due to lower reported Retention from MDAs, non-materialisation of anticipated Gas receipts, delayed receipts from TELCOs in respect of license renewal fees, and the sale of an Electromagnetic Spectrum.

172.

Grants disbursements from Donor Partners amounted to GH¢525.9 million against a target of GH¢504.6 million, 4.2 percent higher than target, as shown in Table 6.
The higher than projected Grants disbursement was largely attributed to the disbursement of Programme Grants which was not anticipated.

Grants disbursements have also been strengthened by the fast-tracking of key Interchange, Modernising infrastructure projects such as Agriculture in Ghana Programme, and the Greater Accra Sanitation and Water Project, amongst others, all of which our Development Partners are supporting.

Mr. Speaker, provisional data for the period as shown in Table 7 indicates that Expenditure (including the clearance of arrears) was 4.9 percent below target and amounted to GH¢41,251.1 million, equivalent to 13.8 percent of GDP compared to the target of GH¢43,379.5 million, or 14.5 percent of GDP.

This outturn includes the overruns in the Use of Goods and Services and Wages and Salaries.

174.
174.

Mr. Speaker, Wages and Salaries amounted to GH¢12,798.5 million, or 4.3 percent of GDP and represented 49.7 percent of Tax Revenue for the period.

The outturn is marginally higher than the programmed target of GH¢12,581.5 million.

The main reason for the deviation is accounted for by higher wage-related allowances.

Mr. Speaker, expenses on Goods and Services exceeded the budgeted target primarily due to front-loading of expenditures to some MDAs in pursuit of critical Government flagship programmes, including Free SHS, Planting for Food and Jobs, and Security.

42 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 176.

Mr. Speaker, on the other hand, the execution of Capital Expenditures has been less aggressive following slower execution of Domestic financed Capital expenditures.

177.
177.

Mr. Speaker, Grants to Other Government Units are lower than estimated mainly due to lower tax revenue performance for the period, since several of these inter- governmental grants are derived as percentages of specifically identified taxes.

It is, however, important to note that this is not an indication of accumulation of arrears to Statutory Funds as, current year transfers due these Funds are on track.

178.

Interest Payments for the period under review, amounted to GH¢10,536.65 million, equivalent to 3.5 percent of GDP.

This was 0.5 percent lower than a liability management programmed programme sought to reduce the cost of borrowing and this largely contributed to the positive outcome.

Preliminary data as at the end of September 2018 indicate that payment of Arrears amounting to GH¢856.2 million, equivalent to 0.3 percent of GDP of have been cleared.
Budget Balance and Financing Operations 180.

Mr. Speaker, the overall Budget Balance recorded a cash deficit of GH¢9,049.7 million, equivalent of 3.0 percent of GDP against a target of GH¢7,989.72 million, or 2.6 percent of GDP.
Table 8: Summary of Central Gov’t Budget Balances & Financing – 2017/2018 Key Financing Indicators 2017 2018 (in GHS unless otherwise indicated) (Q1-Q3) Outturn Budget Revised Budget Rev Prog (Q1-Q3) Prov Outturn (Q1-Q3) Dev GHS Dev % Total Financing 8,818 10,971 10,971 7,780 9,050 1,269 16.3 Percentage of GDP (old GDP series) Percentage of GDP (rebased GDP) Foreign Financing Percentage of GDP (old GDP series) Percentage of GDP (rebased GDP) Domestic Financing Percentage of GDP (old GDP series) Percentage of GDP (rebased GDP) Source: Ministry of Finance 4.3 3.4 -213 -0.1 - -424 -8.0 1,693 68.5 43 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 181.
The fiscal deficit as shown in Table 8 was financed from a combination of domestic and external sources.

This included a draw-down in Government deposits at the Bank of Ghana.

Total Domestic Financing amounted to GH¢4,166.3 million of which net financing from domestic market operations amounted to GH¢6,460.8 million.

Total Net Foreign Financing amounted to GH¢4,883.4 million and included inflows from the issuance of the 2018 Eurobond.

182.
182.

Mr. Speaker, the primary balance recorded a surplus of GH¢1,486.9 million, equivalent of 0.5 percent of GDP, albeit lower than the programmed target of GH¢2,810.2 million, or 0.9 percent of GDP.

The lower-than-programmed revenue inflows accounted for our inability to meet the Primary Balance target.

Outlook for End-year 2018 183.


Mr. Speaker, given the trend in fiscal performance observed through end- September 2018, Total Revenue and Grants for the 2018 fiscal year is projected to be 4.6 percent below the revised annual target.

The projected deviation is expected to emanate mainly from lower Non-Tax Revenue resulting from programmed one-off inflows which may not materialise.

Additionally, expected receipts from Gas will not materialise.
On the other hand, Tax Revenue is expected to recover somewhat, in the last quarter of the year, but will still fall short of the target by about 2.2 percent.

Consequently, Total Revenue and Grants will amount to about GH¢46,807.5 million, equivalent to 15.7 percent of GDP.

184.

Mr. Speaker, total Expenditure is generally expected to remain below target despite anticipated overages on specific expenditure lines, including Use of Goods and Services, and Wages and Salaries.
However, Domestic financed Capital spending is also expected to adjust downwards to mitigate the impact of the overages on the overall Budget Balance.

As a result, Total Expenditure (including Arrears clearance) will amount to about GH¢57,823.2 million, equivalent to 19.4 percent of GDP, and 3.7 percent below the revised annual Budget provision of GH¢60,030.2 million.

185.
185.

Mr. Speaker, the end-2018 fiscal deficit on cash basis is, therefore, projected at GH¢11,015.4 million, equivalent to 3.7 percent of GDP broadly in line with the revised annual Budget target of GH¢10,971.1 million, which is also 3.7 percent of GDP.

44 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 186.
Mr. Speaker, Government is also on track to achieving a positive primary balance for the second consecutive year and this is expected to impact positively in slowing down the rate of debt accumulation in 2018.

PETROLEUM RECEIPTS AND UTILISATION IN 2018 187.

Mr. Speaker, as of September 2018, Ghana National Petroleum Company Limited (GNPC) had lifted seven parcels of crude oil (i.e.
the 42nd to 44th Jubilee, 6th to 8th TEN as well as the 1st SGN liftings) on behalf of the State, and transported a total of 22,760.94 MMscf of gas to the Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC).

Total crude oil lifted was 6,896,208 barrels (2,915,572 barrels of Jubilee oil; 2,985,285 barrels of TEN oil and 995,351 barrels of SGN oil), compared to 5,795,014 barrels (3,802,769 from Jubilee and 1,992,245 TEN field) for the same period last year.

There were no gas receipts as at September 2018.

Surface Rentals and PHF Interest made up the remaining 0.26 percent, a slight decrease from 0.33 percent in the comparative period as shown in Figure 3.

Actual receipts for the period up to September 2018 showed a negative variance of US$9.59 million, compared with the full year projection.

That said, given the expected proceeds before year-end, we are very optimistic that petroleum revenue performance will exceed the projected amount.

ABFA Utilisation 197.

Mr. Speaker, this august House approved an amount of GH¢1,546.38 million to be spent as ABFA in the year 2018.
Of this amount, a total of GH¢610.18 million, representing 49.0 percent of total ABFA receipts, was utilised at the end of September 2018.

Table 15 provides a summary of utilisation by the priority area.

Mr. Speaker, for the 2018 fiscal year, Government continued with the implementation of the strategy for managing the public debt stock, with the sole objective of raising adequate financing at the lowest possible cost and prudent degree of risk.

The strategy was also to meet other debt management goals of developing an efficient domestic capital market for government securities.
The strategy for 2018 was built on the successes achieved in 2017, and targeted the lengthening of the maturity profile of domestic debt instruments.

199.

Within the broad macro-fiscal context, Government’s debt management policy seeks to ensure that both the level and the rate of accumulation of debt are on a sustainable path, and the debt can be serviced under various macroeconomic and financial stress conditions.

that 2018 and Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS) 200.
Consistent with the debt management policies, ceiling on non-concessional loans was capped at US$750.0 million to finance infrastructure and other critical capital projects.

201.

The 2018 debt management strategy envisaged the issuance of medium to long term bonds and made provision for contingent liabilities from the financial sector in line with Government’s commitment to ensure a strong and resilient financial sector.
The strategy also envisaged a sovereign bond issuance on international capital markets.

202.

In line with the strategy, Government issued 3-Year, 5-Year, 7-Year and 10-Year Bonds to further lengthen the maturity profile of domestic debt.

About GH¢9,900.0 million was also issued by Government to cover the bailout of the seven failed banks.

203.

Mr. Speaker, difficulties faced by emerging markets from the second half of 2018 also presented challenges to the smooth implementation of the strategy.
The external contagion effect of the investor pull-out from emerging and developing economies affected non-resident investors participation in the domestic markets, and posed some stress on exchange rate markets.

As a result, the approved strategy was redirected to focus on more active government activities on the secondary market.

For this, government spent GH¢300.0 million to generate liquidity to facilitate trading on the secondary market.
50 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 2018 Sovereign Bond Issue 204.

Mr. Speaker, Government had approval on 26th March, 2018 from this august House to access the international capital market to raise US$2,500.0 million for budgetary purposes and liability management.

205.
205.

The global capital market experienced some turbulence during the first half of 2018, triggered by rising US interest rates, currency crises in some emerging markets and developing economies, and aggressive sell-off of bonds by investors, among others.

206.

Notwithstanding this turbulence on the global scene, Ghana issued US$2,000.0 million in Eurobonds in May 2018, consisting of US$1,000.0 million each of 10- year and 30-year instruments.
The 10-year bond was priced at 7.625 percent, while the 30-year bond was priced at 8.627 per cent as shown in Table 16.

207.

An amount of US$750.0 million from the bond proceeds was used to finance infrastructure and other capital expenditure approved in the 2018 Budget.

An additional US$830.0 million was also used to switch the 2022 Eurobond and the remaining was lodged in the Sinking Fund for further liability management.

208.

Mr. Speaker, Ghana achieved a landmark success with this issuance.
We were the first B-rated Sub–Saharan African country to price a sovereign bond with strong investor participation which resulted in over subscription by investors.

The bond was also the largest ever raised by the country.

Despite the size of the issuance, the net addition to the debt stock was the US$750.0 million that financed the Budget.

209.

Mr. Speaker, it is the policy of Government to redeem the benchmark size bonds before maturity.
This policy was what led to the tender offer of the 2022 Eurobond priced at 9.25 per cent in 2016, using proceeds of the 2029 and 2049 Eurobonds issued in May, 2018.

210.

Mr. Speaker, on the Global Depository Note (GDN), Government procured an Advisor to support the initiative.

The Central Securities Depository has given clearance to proceed with the issuance of the GDN.

Government and its stakeholders are working on the architecture of the GDN to ensure successful implementation.

Mr. Speaker, Government announced its intention to issue longer dated sovereign bonds this year as part of our bilateral engagement with other countries.

Our phase of massive economic transformation requires a more ambitious financing arrangement, and the capacity to retire about half of the country’s existing debt which were issued during a high interest rate environment during the previous administration.

212.
212.

The decision to raise these ultra-long term bonds is not intended to derail our debts sustainability path, but rather to enhance it.

If we really want to uplift ourselves out of this hand-to-mouth existence and put our country Ghana on a firm trajectory of growth and prosperity, we will need to source long term affordable financing to invest in strategic infrastructure over the medium to long- term.

213.
213.

The potential investor base of the longer term sovereign borrowing will include countries such as Qatar, China, Germany, Qatar, Japan, Korea, Kuwait and institutional investors using two different vehicles.

We shall issue sovereign bonds of longer tenor either as green bonds or Eurobonds on the international capital markets and also structure a Sovereign Century Fund for our bilateral investor partners.

214.
214.

The Sovereign Century Fund shall engage on a bilateral basis to raise long term concessional financing to underwrite our other commercial infrastructure needs 52 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” through GIIF, GIADEC, PPP projects and other entities as well as liability management.

215.

We inherited over GH¢120 billion of debt at very high interest rates.

Even though we have brought down interest rates considerably we are still saddled with a sizeable amount of expensive debt.
As such, in 2019, we will spend over GH¢16 billion of our revenue (over 26.6%) on interest payments.

This amount can be considerably reduced if we refinance our debt at much lower interest rates.

A ten percent reduction in the interest rates translates into over GH¢1.6 billion in savings; almost enough to pay for Free SHS in 2019.

216.

Mr Speaker, the Ghana Century bond program will help provide us with the wherewithal to refinance these expensive liabilities.
It is an important bulwark for Ghana’s post IMF status; it indicates a country with a long-term plan, a country that can program its infrastructure needs, a country that can provision for adequate foreign exchange reserves.

Partial Securitisation of Mineral Royalties 217.

The 2018 Budget Statement and Economic Policy indicated Government’s plan to adopt a policy for leveraging the future proceeds from mineral royalties to support current developmental needs.
This was supposed to be accomplished through an up-front payment instrument.

In line with this policy, Parliament reviewed and passed the Ghana Minerals Investment Income Fund Bill into law which seeks to establish the Ghana Minerals Investment Income Fund.

The objective is to hold and manage the equity interests of the Government in mining companies, receive mineral royalties and rents due to Government, and manage and invest the assets of the Fund.
Accordingly, the Fund can raise resources by way of an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange, and any other stock exchange market.

Government expects to raise up to US$750.0 million from the transaction when all the necessary administrative arrangements have been concluded.

Public Debt Dynamics 218.


The nominal public debt stock as at end September 2018 was GH¢170,839.53 million, comprising external and domestic debt of GH¢86,647.60 million and GH¢84,191.93 million, respectively.

The overall rate of debt accumulation in 2018 is 19.8 percent, driven significantly by the bailout of the seven local banks which were either resolved or consolidated as part of a banking sector clean-up.

The rate of debt accumulation would have been 11.5 percent without the clean- up exercise.
53 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 219.

Another factor explaining the nominal increase is the depreciation of the Ghana currency against major trading partners which affected about 52.0 percent of the entire debt stock.

Figure 4: Trends in Public Debt and Debt Accumulation 2013- Sept. 2018 Source: Ministry of Finance 220.

In real terms, the public debt to GDP ratio is 57.2 percent, based on the rebased GDP.
The public debt stock (excluding the financial sector bailout) as a ratio of GDP is 53.94 percent in rebased GDP as at September 2018.

Sovereign Credit Rating 221.

Mr. Speaker, Ghana‘s sovereign credit rating over the past 10 years had been erratic and characterised by more periods of downgrade.

With the restoration of macroeconomic stability, rebound in GDP growth and improved debt dynamics, Ghana achieved an upgrade by Standard & Poor’s from ‘B-’ to ‘B’ with a stable outlook.

222.
222.

However, Moody’s and Fitch have maintained their outlook at stable, as shown in Table 17.

The rating affirmation by these two rating agencies was mainly on account of effective monetary policy and economic growth prospects.

Mr. Speaker, as part of Government’s efforts to manage fiscal risk arising from issuance of guarantees and on-lent facilities to public entities, a credit risk assessment framework was developed and operationalised.

224.

The operationalisation of the framework focused on specific SOEs in the energy sector as they constitute about 2.8 percent of Government debt portfolio.
In all, eight SOEs were assessed and the results of the assessment is expected to guide Government in its decision to provide support in the form of guarantees and /or on-lending.

Fixed Income Market 225.

Mr. Speaker, the secondary market for fixed income securities had been dominated by over-the-counter activities by dealers who operated without any structured guidelines and regulations.
The types of securities on the over-the- counter market had been mainly the Government of Ghana instruments and a few corporate bonds.

226.

Earlier attempts made by Ghana Stock Exchange to establish a well-structured secondary market for fixed income securities had not been successful.

Against this backdrop, Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM) was established to facilitate the trading of debt instruments and support the development of the economy.

227.
227.

Trading of Government securities on GFIM improved tremendously.

In 2017 GFIM over-performed the 2016 activities level by 83.8 percent with a total of GH¢30,700.0 million of government securities traded.
As at August 2018, GFIM 55 MarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptMarSeptB+-ve-veB000000-ve-ve-ve-ve0B-00000+ve+veB1000000-ve-ve-ve-ve-veB2-veB3-ve-ve-ve0000B+-ve-ve-ve0000-ve-veB00-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve000B-FitchOutlookS&PMoody's201320142015201620172018AgencyRatings2009201020112012 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” had already recorded GH¢25,246.30 million of securities traded, a 27.3 percent increase over the GH¢14,805.60 recorded during the same period in 2017.

228.
228.

Though GFIM is only three years old, it has enhanced transparency and efficiency in the secondary bond market in Ghana.

The private corporate bond market is beginning to develop on the back of the Government debt market.

229.

Mr. Speaker, based on the successes chalked thus far with the GFIM platform, Government will formally launch the initiative by the end of the year.

Energy Sector Bond Performance 230.


Mr. Speaker, as part of Government’s effort to deal with the energy sector legacy debt, the E.S.L.A.

Plc was incorporated in September 2017 as an independent special purpose vehicle to, among others, issue debt securities for the purpose of refinancing the energy sector debt.

231.

E.S.L.A.

Plc issued 7-year and 10-year bonds with a combined face value of GH¢ 5.6 billion.
In both January and August 2018, re-tap on the 10-year bonds was effected with GH¢615.0 million and GH¢264.0 million, respectively.

Following the issue of the bonds, SOE debts amounting to approximately GH¢5.3 billion have been settled to date.

232.

The company has successfully made the required coupon payments to its bondholders in May and November 2018 and cash held in excess of its Debt Service Reserve amount have been transferred to a Lockbox Account for the benefit of bond holders.

233.
233.

Mr. Speaker, it is gratifying to note that in March 2018 the ESLA bond was adjudged the best restructuring in Europe, Middle East and Africa by EMEA Finance.

Performance of the Energy Sector Levies 234.

Mr. Speaker, Government is on track with its strategy to use the proceeds accruing from the Energy Sector Levies to support the restructuring of energy sector SOEs as well as facilitate sustainable investments in the sector.

235.
235.

A total amount of GH¢3,507.01 million was programmed for collection in 2018.

Actual collections as at end-September 2018 amounted to GH¢2,334.69 million while lodgments into the established and other ESLA accounts amounted to GH¢2,339.51 million.
Total lodgments were higher than collections by GH¢4.82 million (0.21 percent) as a result of the distribution of 2017 ESLA balances 56 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” accrued into the Energy Debt Recovery Levy (EDRL) Account in the first quarter of 2018.

236.

Mr. Speaker, the utilization of the levies lodged into the ESLA accounts were done in line with the provisions of the ESLA Act 899, as amended, Act 946.
At the end of September 2018, an amount of GH¢1,922.19 million had been used for various purposes, the breakdown of which is as follows:  GH¢1,134.91 million was transferred to E.S.L.A PLC., in respect of debt service payments for the bonds issued;  GH¢185.45 million was paid as subsidies to Bulk Oil Distribution Companies for the supply of Premix and Residual Fuel Oil (RFO).
The amount includes the clearance of 2017 outstanding commitments of GH¢126.13 million;  GH¢522.27 million was utilized by the Road Fund.
The amount includes loan repayment of GH¢260.95 million paid to creditor banks, and GH¢261.32 million to contractors for various road maintenance works undertaken across the country;  GH¢9.30 million was transferred to the Energy Fund to support its activities;  GH¢3.38 million was used to pay bank and L/C charges to power utility suppliers; and  GH¢66.89 million was transferred into the National Electrification Fund to support the implementation of the National Electrification Programme.

237.
237.

Mr. Speaker, Government remains confident that the ongoing strategies being pursued will ensure that SOEs operating in the energy sector become viable to ensure that Ghanaians enjoy the full benefits of a vibrant and sustainable energy sector.

57 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” SECTION FOUR: 2019 AND MEDIUM-TERM POLICY OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS GOVERNMENT’S MEDIUM-TERM VISION AND OBJECTIVES 238.
Mr. Speaker, the medium-term programmes and plans for the country are anchored on the following: ● the Medium-Term National Development Policy Framework for 2018-2021— Agenda for Jobs: Creating Prosperity and Opportunities for All; the President’s Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Programmes (CPESDP); the “Ghana Beyond Aid” agenda; the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030); the African Union Agenda 2063; and the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921).

● ● ● ● ● 239.
● ● ● ● ● 239.

Mr. Speaker, Government’s medium-term vision, as articulated the Coordinated programmes is to “create an optimistic, self-confident and building a prosperous nation, through the creative exploitation of our human and natural resources, and operating within a democratic, open and fair society in which mutual trust and economic opportunities exist for all”.
The vision is underpinned by four main development goals, namely: ● Creating opportunities for all Ghanaians; ● Safeguarding the natural environment and ensuring a resilient, built in environment; ● Maintaining a stable, united and safe society; and ● Building a prosperous society.

240.

Mr. Speaker to achieve the vision and the four main development goals, the medium-term priority policies, programmes and projects are anchored on five thematic areas and five strategic pillars.
The thematic areas are: ● Economic Development; ● Social Development; ● Environment, Infrastructure, and Human Settlements; ● Governance, Corruption and Public Accountability; and ● Strengthening Ghana’s role in International Affairs 241.
Mr. Speaker, the five strategic pillars are: ● Restoring the economy; ● Transforming agriculture and industry; ● Strengthening social protection and inclusion; ● Revamping economic and social infrastructure; and 58 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● Reforming public service delivery institutions.

242.
242.

Mr. Speaker, the medium-term policies also aim to put in place some of the foundation stones of the “Ghana Beyond Aid” agenda, which is consistent with the vision in the Coordinated Programme.

In addition, the policies reflect Government’s proactivity in implementing the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921) passed by this august House in 2016.

243.
243.

Mr. Speaker Government’s priority objectives for the 2019 fiscal year and the medium-term include: ● Modernising our agriculture and increasing productivity and output in the real sector to increase incomes of farmers, improve food self-sufficiency and exports, and create a viable supply base for agro-industry; Industrialisation, based particularly on adding value to our agricultural produce and natural resources, and on utilising our comparative advantage of a growing and young labour force.
This includes the development of the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Industry; ● ● Building our human capital through improved access to quality education and health to ensure that our growing labour force is employable and competitive; ● Efficient infrastructure including roads, railways, and energy to drive our industrialisation and agricultural modernisation programmes; ● Efficient public service delivery and major improvements in the general business environment to encourage investment, production, and job-creation in the private sector; ● Maintaining and sustaining macroeconomic stability, as well as improving expenditure efficiency and domestic resource mobilisation to create more fiscal space and provide additional resources to fund our growth-oriented and employment-generating development programmes; ● Urban sanitation and renewal; ● Launching and implementation of the Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda; ● Good governance and the fight against corruption; and ● Completing the financial sector clean-up exercise which started in 2017, and to support private sector growth and the sector strengthening entrepreneurship.
244.

Mr. Speaker, in both the 2017 and 2018 Budgets, the Government of His Excellency, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, launched a number of flagship programmes and initiatives in pursuit of these priority objectives.

In 2019, we will consolidate these flagship programmes and expedite their implementation as part of our resolve to expand the economy and create more decent jobs, especially, for the youth.
These programmes include: 59 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● Free SHS and TVET; ● Planting for Food and Jobs; ● One-District One-Factory (1D1F); ● Integrated Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP) including the three Development Authorities and One-Village-One-Dam; ● Zongo Development Fund initiative; ● The National Builders Corps (NABCo) to help improve service delivery and provide transitional jobs and training for our unemployed graduates; ● National Entrepreneurial Innovation Programme (NEIP); ● Restoration of Nurses and Teacher Trainee Allowances; and ● Revitalisation of Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC).
2019 AND MEDIUM TERM MACRO-FISCAL OBJECTIVES 245.

Mr. Speaker, following the significant achievements in stabilising the economy, Government will continue to pursue prudent macroeconomic policies to maintain and sustain macroeconomic stability to provide a stable environment to facilitating the expansion of economic opportunities and promote inclusive and job-creating growth and development.
Our broad macroeconomic objectives to support these medium-term development objectives are to: ● Restore and sustain macroeconomic stability; ● Shift the focus of economic management from taxation to production to promote private sector led-growth; ● Continue to manage the economy prudently and competently; and ● Make the machinery of Government work to deliver the benefits of progress for all Ghanaians.

246.

Mr. Speaker, to achieve the medium term macroeconomic objectives.
We will: promote inclusive growth without compromising on fiscal consolidation; anchor fiscal policy to reduce the fiscal deficit to low and sustainable levels; reduce the overall public debt burden on our citizens; by strengthen the inflation targeting regime and pursue complementary monetary policy to promote growth and pursue complementary external sector policies to ensure exchange rate stability and realize favourable current account balances.

247.
Mr. Speaker, consistent with Section 14 of the PFM Act, 2016 (Act 921), Government’s fiscal policy objectives in 2019 and the medium-term are to: ● Ensure macroeconomic stability within the macroeconomic and fiscal framework; ● Reduce the fiscal deficit to sustainable levels and generate sufficient primary surpluses to ensure a sustainable declining debt path to strengthen debt sustainability without compromising growth; 60 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● Enhance domestic revenue mobilisation; ● Reduce budget rigidities to create critical fiscal space to accommodate growth enhancing expenditures; ● Pursue expenditure efficiency measures to get more mileage from our hard- earned resources to ensure value-for-money spending; and ● Promote social protection and inclusion.
2019 AND MEDIUM TERM MACRO-FISCAL TARGETS 248.
Mr. Speaker, given the medium-term policy objectives outlined above, the following macroeconomic targets are set for the (2019-2022) medium-term: ● Overall Real GDP to grow at an average of 7.0 percent for the period; ● Non-Oil Real GDP to grow at an average of 6.6 percent for the period; ● ● Overall fiscal deficit to be contained to remain within a narrow band defined Inflation to be within the target band of 8±2 percent; by a fiscal rule of not more than 5 percent of GDP; ● The primary balance to be a surplus of at least 1 percent of GDP; and ● Gross International Reserves to cover at least 4 months of imports of goods and services.
249.
Mr. Speaker, based on the overall macroeconomic objective of sustaining macroeconomic stability and pursuing job-creating inclusive-growth programmes to better the lives of Ghanaians, the following specific macroeconomic targets are set for the 2019 fiscal year: ● Overall Real GDP growth of 7.6 percent; ● Non-Oil Real GDP growth of 6.2 percent; ● End-period inflation of 8.0 percent; ● Fiscal deficit of 4.2 percent of GDP; ● Primary surplus of 1.2 percent of GDP; and ● Gross International Reserves to cover not less than 3.5 months of imports of goods and services.
250.

Mr. Speaker, we now provide details of the medium-term outlook for the real, fiscal, monetary, and external sectors of the economy REAL SECTOR OUTLOOK 251.

Mr. Speaker, the 2018 Budget envisaged a 6.8 percent GDP growth rate for 2018.

However, with the rebasing of the GDP, there has been the need to revise the 2018 growth projection.

Thus, overall real GDP has been revised downwards to 5.6 percent, taking account of the base effect of the GDP rebasing, as well as the half-year performance.
Non-Oil GDP is projected to grow by a marginal rate of 5.8 percent.

61 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 252.

Mr. Speaker, the medium-term GDP projection is predicated on the 2018 revised GDP growth.

In the medium-term (2019-2022), GDP is projected to record an average growth of 7.0 percent, with projected growth rates of 7.7 percent, 6.9 percent, 5.6 percent and 7.4 percent in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, as shown in Table 18 and Appendix Table 1.
GDP excluding oil (Non-Oil GDP) is projected to record an average growth of 6.6 percent over the medium-term, growing by 6.3 percent, 7.0 percent and 6.0 percent in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

It is projected to grow by 6.8 percent in 2022.

The corresponding projected real and nominal GDP at levels are shown in Appendix Tables 2 and 3, respectively.
Table 18: Real GDP Growth, 2019-2022 (percent) 2019 2020 2021 2022 Average 7.3 9.7 6.1 7.6 6.2 7.0 7.2 7.1 7.0 7.1 7.0 3.5 7.7 5.8 6.3 7.1 7.2 8.6 7.6 6.9 7.1 6.9 7.4 7.0 6.6 Agriculture Industry Services Overall GDP (incl.

oil) Overall GDP (excl.

oil) Source: Ministry of Finance Agriculture 253.

Mr. Speaker, the Agriculture Sector is projected to record an average growth rate of 7.1 percent over the medium-term.
This is informed by growth rates of 7.3 percent, 7.0 percent, 7.0 percent, and 7.1 percent in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Details of subsector performances are shown in Appendix 1.

The Sector’s medium-term performance is expected to be broadly driven by strong performances in the Crops subsector, underpinned by an expansionary PFJ Programme.

Industry 254.

Mr. Speaker, the Industry Sector is projected to grow at an average rate of 6.9 percent in the medium-term.
The Sector is expected to grow by 9.7 percent in 2019, 7.2 percent in 2020, 3.5 percent in 2021, and 7.2 percent in 2022.

Unlike in other years, the performance is informed by strong projected performance across all subsectors, including Manufacturing, and Mining and Quarrying.

255.

The Construction subsector is also expected to continue on a path of strong growth, with an average medium-term growth of 6.2 percent.
The subsector is expected to receive a boost from increased construction activities in the medium- term.

62 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Services 256.

The Services Sector is projected to grow at an average rate of 7.4 percent over the medium-term, spurred on by strong growth performance in the Education subsector.
Growth in Education is expected to average 14.8 percent, while Hotels and Restaurant is also expected to perform strongly, with a medium-term average growth of 12.9 percent.

The Trade; Repair of Vehicles, Household Goods; Transport and Storage; and Health and Social Services are also expected to drive Services Sector growth.

257.
257.

However, growth in the Financial and Insurance subsector is expected to decline by an average of 6.2 percent over the medium term, serving as a drag on the growth of the Services Sector.

258.
258.

OUTLOOK FOR THE MONETARY AND EXTERNAL SECTORS In line with the medium-term policy objectives, the outlook for the monetary and external sectors are as follows: ● Monetary policy will continue to provide an anchor for inflation expectations and steer inflation towards the medium-term target band of 8±2 percent; ● Monetary aggregates are expected to increase at a moderate pace during the 2018 - 2020 period.

Annual growth in money supply (M2+) is expected to end in 2018 at 16.6 percent.
On average, M2+ is expected to grow at around 19.1 percent for 2019 and 2020; ● The current account deficit is expected to continue to adjust downwards during the 2018–2020 period in line with further fiscal consolidation and better prospects in oil and gas production.
The current account deficit is, therefore, projected to end 2018 at 3.2 percent of GDP and further down to 3.1 percent of GDP in 2019 and down to 2.9 percent of GDP by 2020; and ● Gross international reserves are projected to be at least 3.5 months of import cover over the 2018 - 2020 period.

FINANCIAL SECTOR POLICY INITIATIVES UPDATES Ghana Commodities Exchange 259.
Mr. Speaker, in fulfilment of its pledge to the people of Ghana in the NPP manifesto, the Government has set-up the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX) this year.

I am pleased to inform this honourable house that President Nana Akufo-Addo, on November 6, 2018, launched the Ghana Commodity Exchange, a state-of-the-art trading system linked to warehouses located in rural 63 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” communities.
The Exchange could be described as a game changer for the Agricultural Sector in Ghana.

260.

Mr. Speaker, the Ghana Commodity Exchange, as a new pillar of the financial system, will promote private sector investment in industry and agriculture which would be critical for achieving the policy objectives of the President’s Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development.
It will help in creating better opportunities for over 2.9 million Ghanaians who are employed in the agriculture sector, the largest share of occupational groupings in the country according to the 2015 Labour Force Survey by the GSS.

Majority of these Ghanaians are smallholder farmers in rural communities.

261.
261.

It is estimated through the GCX ecosystem that more than 200,000 skilled jobs will be provided not only in Accra, but in key agricultural production and trading centres such as Wenchi, Ejura, Tamale and Sandema, which will host warehouses to support the Exchange.

Government expects to reach 1 million farmers and increase its warehouse capacity to 100,000 MT.
Some of the quality jobs to be created by the Exchange are commodity brokers, data analysts, risk managers, grading and certification officers, business advisors, store keepers, credit officers, grain pickers and cleaners, winnowers, spillage managers, re- baggers and loaders.

262.

Mr. Speaker, Government’s initiatives under the Planting for Food and Jobs, and the One District One Warehouse programs, all have direct correlation with the Ghana Commodities Exchange.
The complete success of each of these individual initiatives depends on each other.

263.

Mr. Speaker, we will work to expand the commodity coverage of the exchange over time.

The Ghana Commodity Exchange will add on Soya, Paddy Rice, Millet and Sorghum, and subsequently expand to cover cash crops and metals.

These commodities are selected because of their commercial value, volumes and standards.

Development of the Mortgage and Housing Finance Market 264.
As announced in the 2018 Budget statement, work has been completed for the start of the pilot phase of the Mortgage and Housing Finance Market Scheme in November 2018.

An amount of GH¢40m has been released for the pilot phase which will leverage additional private sector funds of GH¢40m from pensions, insurance and collective investment schemes through selected commercial banks.

Mr. Speaker, a vibrant mortgage and housing finance ecosystem is key for social equity, economic development and job creation.
64 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 265.

To scale up this initiative in 2019, Government had committed to a GH¢1 billion mortgage and housing finance fund which will be seeded with a minimum of GH¢100m every fiscal year over the next 5 years.

This effort will support private sector in expanding access to housing and deepen the local mortgage and construction finance market.
The focus on fixing the financial system to support home-ownership by large segment of the populace is critical in government effort to enter into a social compact with labor.

266.

Government through SHC is looking to partner with private sector developers to deliver housing across the country in every region and to complete all the uncompleted housing projects across the country.

267.
267.

By encouraging the delivery of more homes under a variety of demand driven initiatives, such as lower mortgage interest rates, rent-to-own schemes, dedicated income deductions for home ownership, and lowering the cost of home delivery; we can create a housing market that works for everyone, meeting the diverse housing needs of our country.

268.
268.

Mr. Speaker, in designing a comprehensive mortgage and housing finance ecosystem for the economy, Government will promote dedicated Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to encourage rent-to-own schemes, encourage private sector participation in mortgage refinancing, and work with the SEC to develop the market for mortgage-backed securities.

269.

Mr. Speaker, the Income Tax Act, 2015 (Act 896) provides for a concessional rate for certified companies that provide affordable housing.
Government will conclude guidelines for implementation of the policy in 2019.

Establishment of Ghana as a Regional Financial Services Hub 270.

Mr. Speaker, as announced in the 2018 Budget Statement, Government intends to establish Ghana as a regional financial services hub.

Government put together a taskforce to advise it on the strategy and structure to adopt in establishing the country as a regional hub for financial services.
The taskforce completed its work and submitted a comprehensive report to Government.

271.

Mr. Speaker, over the past decades, Ghana has positioned itself as a pillar of stability in the sub-region, with relatively strong institutions and an entrenched democracy.

Government will leverage these to position the country as a financial services hub.
Government’s approach is not to create a tax haven to attract international capital, but to develop a comprehensive ecosystem to make the country a preferred headquarters for regionally-focused financial services 65 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” providers.

Mr. Speaker, in 2019, key activities towards establishing the country as a financial services hub will focus on development of the regulatory, strategic, and implementation frameworks.
Subscription for Africa Trade Insurance (ATI) 272.

Mr. Speaker, attracting foreign direct investment into our country is critical for growth and regional competitiveness.

To make the country more attractive for FDI, Government intends to make Ghana a member of the Africa Trade Insurance Agency.

This will provide opportunities for investors to benefit from investment, trade and political risk insurance when investing in the country.

273.
273.

This membership will also lessen the request for sovereign guarantee by some institutional investors from government, as they now have the option to access risk cover through the ATI.

Government has approved this initiative and the membership treaty is before Parliament for ratification.

As part of the Compact with Africa, Government has secured a grant of US$18.4m from kfw to pay for our shares.

National Financial Inclusion and Development Strategy 274.
Mr. Speaker, a National Financial Inclusion and Development Strategy (NFIDS) has been developed to address the fundamental barriers preventing the financially underserved population from accessing financial products and services.

Presently, only 58 percent of Ghana’s adult population has access to formal financial services.

275.

Mr. Speaker, the NFIDS acknowledges Ghana’s financial stability challenges and seeks to address them as a precondition to promote sustainable financial inclusion and development.
The reform agenda emphasizes financial technology (Fintech), given its proven ability to drive financial inclusion in Ghana, not only by enabling the introduction of new products and services, but also by allowing efficient delivery of traditional financial products such as savings and remittances.

276.

Mr. Speaker, Government has developed a project based on this strategy, implementation of which will commence in 2019.
The key objectives of the project are to: ● Improve regulations for Savings and Loans companies, and Microfinance institutions; ● Establish a domestic credit rating agency; ● Establish a financial stability council and a financial services data centre; and 66 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● Support Rural and Community Banks to improve technology usage and digital finance.

Other Financial Sector Initiative 277.


Government also intensified efforts in establishing the Ghana Incentive Base Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (GIRSAL) as a key instrument for National Development.

GIRSAL aims to provide guarantees to promote commercial bank lending to the agricultural sector.

In this regard, Government will operationalise GIRSAL in 2019.

FISCAL SECTOR OUTLOOK 278.


Mr. Speaker, in the 2017 Budget, government announced a fiscal policy package to ensure a sustainable pathway for our public finances.

I am happy to announce that Government is meeting these commitments.

Fiscal indicators have improved considerably since the slippages at the end of 2016.

The fiscal deficit has narrowed from 6.5 percent of GDP in 2016 to 4.8 percent of GDP in 2017 and is on track to further narrow to 3.7 percent of GDP at the end of 2018.
For the first time in over a decade, the Primary Balance moved into a surplus at the end of 2017 and is expected to remain positive in the medium-term.

279.

Mr. Speaker, Government remains committed to a measured path for fiscal consolidation that contains the budget deficit and stabilizes public debt in 2019 and the medium-term.
However, we must equally balance this act by using fiscal policy as a tool to facilitate rapid economic growth as was done by the four Asian Tigers between the early 1960s and 1990s.

Consequently, the Government’s fiscal stance for 2019 and the medium-term will focus on macroeconomic stability, scale up budget execution of its growth-oriented flagship programmes, support industrialization, and continue with the ongoing financial sector clean-up.

280.
280.

Mr. Speaker, we will uphold fiscal discipline and ensure a fiscal path that is consistent with a fiscal rule of a budget deficit of not more than 5 percent of GDP in each fiscal year, commencing from 2019.

Over the medium term, the fiscal deficit will decline and stabilise at under 4.0 percent of GDP, a level that will be enough to consolidate the Primary Surplus which is a key milestone on the path to debt stabilisation.
Additionally, government will institute a Fiscal Council to promote sustainable public finances through public assessments of fiscal plans and performance, and the evaluation of macroeconomic and budgetary forecasts.

281.

Mr. Speaker, we expect ongoing tax administration reforms and compliance efforts to be enhanced in 2019 while revenue measures to be adopted in 2019 67 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” will bring continued relief to the citizenry.
Additionally, the full year yield from the 2018 midyear revenue measures are expected to be robust and complement tax effort of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

282.

Mr. Speaker, on the expenditure front, efficiency in public spending will not be compromised.

We are instituting reforms that will eliminate waste and narrow opportunities for corruption given the very limited resource envelope which is available to us.
However, we will continue to safeguard the funding of all growth- oriented flagship programmes.

REVENUE MEASURES 283.

Mr. Speaker, in 2019, Government will focus its revenue mobilization strategies on reforming our revenue institutions, intensifying compliance measures and continued broadening of the tax net.

We will further accompany these with some reliefs in 2019.
Tax Reliefs 284. Review of the Income Tax Band: Government in the 2018 mid-year review introduced an additional personal income tax band of GH¢10,000 and above per month at a rate of 35 per cent.

We have listened to the feedback from the public and come to the conclusion that some relief from this tax measure is justified.

Accordingly, Government proposes to review this band to impact monthly incomes above GH¢20,000 at a rate of 30 per cent.
Mr. Speaker, we will bring the necessary changes to this august house to be legislated.

285.

Relief from Tax for Minimum Wage Earners: In view of the recent wage increases, wages around minimum wage levels have become partly taxable.

In keeping with government commitment to lighten the tax burden of wage earners at the lower levels of the wage ladder, minimum wage will attract no income tax.

286.
286.

Withholding Tax in Small Scale Mining: To simplify the collection of withholding tax for both small scale mining operators and tax authorities, the point of collection of the tax will be shifted to the point of export.

Mr. Speaker, in the bill to effect this, the exact details of the new arrangement and the benefits to both small scale mining operators and other industry operators will be clearly captured.

Reform of Revenue Institutions 287.


The Ghana Revenue Authority has come a long way from the amalgamation of the three revenue agencies, VAT Service, Internal Revenue Service and the Customs Excise & Preventive Service, to the unified tax authority we have today.
68 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Almost a decade along this journey, it is time to take a closer look at the institution and to retool it for the critical task of mobilizing revenue to finance improvements in the lives of our people.

288.

To achieve this, important changes will be made to both the management and personnel of the Ghana Revenue Authority.
These interventions will seek to improve the quality of the leadership of GRA and boost the performance, responsiveness and work ethics of the entire GRA workforce.

The rigorous performance management tools we have started deploying will be driven to the end.

289.

Irregularities and revenue leakages arising out of the dishonest behaviour of revenue officers will be addressed frontally.
Mr. Speaker, government will make it regular practice to prosecute offending revenue officers for criminal collusion with unscrupulous tax payers.

In this, we will be resolute.

290.

Mr. Speaker, Government will deploy similar strategies towards the National Lotteries Authority.

For a long time, NLA has under-performed its potential.

The reforms of lotteries in Ghana that started more than a decade ago have not yielded the expected outcomes.

There is the need for re-awakening.


As a start, we have initiated steps for a full and comprehensive technical audit of the NLA.

Once this has been completed, government will pursue changes (similar to what has been mentioned in respect of GRA) for both management and personnel of the National Lotteries Authority.

We will be resolute in this regard.

Intensified Tax Compliance 291.

Mr. Speaker, tax evasion is a crime.


Deliberate undervaluation of import values, the ex-warehousing of imports from the bonded warehouses without prior payment of customs taxes, the suppression of sales, the non-issuance of VAT receipts for registered VAT businesses, the diversions of goods cleared as transit goods into the domestic market, and many other irregularities are all crimes perpetuated by criminals.

In 2019, we will treat these offences for what they really are: crimes that must be prosecuted.
292.

In respect of tax debt recovery, we have already prepared files to enable us bring legal action against big tax payers.

We will use various distress actions both sequentially and concurrently to retrieve tax liabilities from tax payers who have a habit of defaulting on their tax obligations.

Mr. Speaker, in this there will be no sacred cows.

69 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 293.
Additionally, we will speed up the implementation of various automated systems that reduce human involvement in tax administration.

The Fiscal Electronic Devices to deepen VAT penetration, and the Excise Tax Stamp Policy, the harmonization of the automated systems at our ports of entry and some of the key systems the implementation of which will be intensified in 2019.

Compliance Measures for the Mining Industry to address 294.
One of the key challenges of optimizing mining revenues for the state is in the verification, assessment and collection of what is due the state.

In spite of work done loopholes, escape hatches, implementation weaknesses, and administrative lapses still exist.

Government will intensify measures to address these challenges in the short to medium term.

The additional measures will aggressively enforce existing legislation and regulations.

these challenges some 295.


The strategies to be adopted will be most intensive in the under listed areas: ● Ensuring greater scrutiny of the quantity and quality of minerals produced in Ghana as the basis of revenue determination and export valuation ● Curbing base erosion as a source of systemic under-valuation of royalties and profits.
● Tightening the regime that governs foreign exchange repatriation through the Bank of Ghana ● Capitalizing Tax Expenditures (Exemptions) and recognizing them as additional government equity holdings in mining companies ● Revitalising the Inter-Agency Technical Committee on Mining Broadening the Tax Net 296.

Mr. Speaker, the need to broaden the tax base has never been lost on us as a country.
Some efforts have been even other previous administrations, but too many individuals and businesses still operate outside the tax net.

This challenge calls for more creative strategies and new approaches to achieve the needed results.

In 2019, we will do the following: 297.

Tax Identification Number: Mr. Speaker, the Revenue Administration Act, 2016 lists many services and transactions that cannot be accessed by individual without TIN.

Unfortunately, compliance with these requirements have been low.
In 2019, we will begin to apply sanctions to state and private entities that fail to enforce these TIN requirements.

Additionally, government, in providing social services and benefits provided by the state, will require beneficiaries or their guardians to have a TIN.

These will complement the current efforts by the GRA to get more persons and businesses on their radar.

70 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 298.
Use of Third Party Data: Mr. Speaker, the National Identification Scheme when fully deployed, will provide government with a database to help with revenue administration.

But even before that, and to add to the benefits from the NIA, we will in 2019 make use of third party data sitting in various data bases in both private and public sector for tax administration purposes.
The DVLA, the Lands Registry, the Courts, the Financial Institutions, the Law Enforcement Agencies, SSNIT, to mention a few, are repositories of useful tax data.

We will use these databases to rope more persons into the tax net and tax them accordingly.

299.

Local Government Revenues and Finances: Mr. Speaker, in 2019, the central government will partner MMDAs to enhance revenues mobilised at the local government level.
This partnership will be in the following areas: ● property registration, and property data management; ● ● ● the use of a simplified inexpensive tool for property valuation; the setting up of a system for the generation and distribution of bills; and the setting up of a system for the efficient collection of property rates and other rates.

300.

301.

In additions, the Ministry of Finance will strengthen its oversight over public revenue management in our MMDAs.
An electronic payment platform will be put in place to automate the collection and administration of rates in all local government entities and to give central government a comprehensive view of the finances of MMDAs.

Internally Generated Funds of MDAs: Mr. Speaker, improved governance of internally generated funds of ministries, departments, agencies and all statutory and constitutional bodies is still top of government priority.
As provided for in the new Fees and Charges Bill that will be placed before Parliament before close of the year, the fees and charges of all MDAs and regulators will come under greater scrutiny of central government.

At the moment, some MDAs receive their fees and charges through commercial banks that lodge these revenues in full at the BoG.

The BoG then transfers the appropriate amounts to the relevant MDA.
In 2019, government will expand this arrangement to all fees and charges on behalf of the MDAs and regulators.

Deployment of Nation Builder’s Corps (NABCO) 302.

Mr. Speaker, the implementation of many of the interventions mentioned above will require more energetic hands.

As part of our strategy to enhance revenue mobilisation, GRA has been assigned ten thousand officers from the NABCO who will be deployed to support the implementation of these measures and strategies.
In particular, they will be helpful in identifying and registering potential 71 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” taxpayers, collection of property rates, and follow up on debtors.

The young men and women of NABCO will in the process become a pool of officers from whom government could recruit substantive officers to support revenue mobilisation.

Exemptions 303.

Mr. Speaker, the numbers on tax exemptions in Ghana’s economy are disturbing.
In the last eight (8) years, tax exemptions (import duty, import VAT, import NHIL and domestic VAT) in the economy have grown from GH¢391.90 million (0.9% of GDP) in 2010 to GH¢5,269.99 million (2.6% of GDP) in 2017.

304.

It is important to indicate that these figures do not include exemptions from the payment of corporate and individual income taxes, concessions on tax rates, petroleum tax reliefs, customs tax exemptions enjoyed by diplomatic missions, and processing charge exemptions at the ports.

305.
305.

Over the same period, about six different studies have been conducted into Ghana’s tax exemptions regime by the Revenue Policy Division of the Ministry of Finance, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD), GIZ and the World Bank.

All these studies have concluded that, (1) the growth in Ghana’s tax exemptions and reliefs is unsustainable, and (2) the benefits Ghana’s economy gets from these exemptions and reliefs are doubtful.

306.
306.

Worse still, Mr. Speaker, tax exemptions in Ghana have invariably provided the opportunity for abuse.

But even without the irregularities, the exemptions in themselves, deny the country of much needed revenue, resulting in low revenue collection and reporting.

These cannot be allowed to continue, which is why we have committed to reform the tax exemptions regime.

307.

The draft policy has been completed and will be presented to Parliament during 2019 to be passed into law.
Responsible Citizenship 308.

Mr. Speaker, citizenship goes with responsibilities and as we strive to propel Ghana beyond Aid we need to find innovative ways to widen our tax net and to bring in the huge informal sector.

309.

Mr. Speaker, we as Ghanaians need to engage in a social compact with Government whereby we all play a role.
A partnership where Government makes a commitment to provide the citizenry with basic social interventions and services to improve the livelihood of our people and to educate our youth who are Ghana’s 72 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” future.

In exchange, Government expects the citizenry to play their part by registering for TIN numbers, paying their taxes, keeping their environment clean, reducing waste and being their brother’s keeper.

310.
Mr. Speaker, Government will then broaden the tax net by Simplifying payment of taxes through different routes under the guidance of GRA include the elimination of paying for Government services with cash, Requiring that citizens show their TIN before accessing social services like free health care under the National Health Insurance Program, free secondary school education under the Free SHS program beginning in September 2019 and other services like vehicle licensing and registration, passport services, banking service as well as mobile money services.
311.

Giving all persons and entities regardless of residence status an opportunity to honour their moral tax obligations that justify their access to public goods.

312.

In 2019, Government will focus its revenue mobilization efforts on reforming our revenue institutions, intensifying compliance measures and broadening the tax net.

We will further accompany these with some reliefs in 2019.

Summary of Medium-Term Fiscal Framework 313.


Mr. Speaker, Table 20 presents a summary of Government’s fiscal framework for 2019 and the medium-term.

The fiscal deficit, which defines Government’s borrowing requirement, is projected at 4.2 percent of GDP in 2019 and is expected to remain below four (4) percent of GDP from 2020-2022.

The primary balance is expected to remain positive, stabilising the growth of debt and ensuring that government can meet its spending commitments without additional borrowing.
314.

Mr. Speaker, Total Revenue and Grants is projected to grow on nominal basis by 25.8 percent in 2019 of which the non-oil Tax Revenue growth is estimated at 19.1 percent in 2019 compared to a projected annual growth of 14.6 percent in 2018.

The 2019 estimated non-oil revenue growth, reflects expected gains from ongoing reforms in revenue administration and tax compliance.

315.
315.

On the other hand, Total Expenditure is projected to grow by 27.0 percent, driven by an 11.2 percent growth in the wage bill to accommodate recruitments in the education, health and security sectors.

Additionally, growth in the non-interest discretionary expenditures of Goods and Services, and Domestic financed Capital Expenditures, reflect full funding for Government’s flagship programmes such as the Free SHS, Planting for Food and Jobs, and IPEP, among others.
73 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” The debt service cost from the recent financial sector cleanup has also been accounted for in the projections.

Total Revenue and Grants for 2019 is estimated to increase to GH¢58,904.9 million, equivalent to 17.1 percent of GDP, up from a projected outturn of GH¢46,807.9 million, 15.7 percent of GDP in 2018.

317.

Domestic Revenue is estimated at GH¢57,794.9 million as shown in figure 5 and represents an annual growth of 25.5 percent over the projected outturn for 2018.

Of this amount, non-oil Tax Revenue will constitute about 74.2 percent of Domestic Revenue and amount to GH¢42,874.8 million.
This estimate reflects the impact of expected improvements in tax compliance and reforms in revenue administration.

Additionally, the full year revenue yield from the 2018 midyear revenue measures is expected to accrue to the Budget in 2019.

318.

Non-Tax Revenue (excluding oil) will amount to GH¢6,536.2 million (1.9 percent of GDP) and constitutes 11.3 percent of Total Domestic Revenue.
Of this amount, GH¢4,426.6 million is expected to be retained by Internally Generated Fund (IGF) generating institutions with a potential yield of GH¢282.2 million from IGF capping.

319.

Receipts from upstream petroleum activities are projected at GH¢5,429.6 million; constituting 9.4 percent of total Domestic Revenue―equivalent to 1.6 percent of GDP and a 30.3 percent growth over the projected outturn for 2018.

320.
320.

Grants disbursement from Development Partners is estimated at GH¢1,109.9 million, equivalent to 0.3 percent of GDP and a nominal growth of 43.5 percent over the projected outturn of GH¢773.2 million in 2018.

The anticipated higher inflow is mainly attributed to higher Project Grants.

Programme Grants continue to remain low and accounts for only 5.2 percent of the expected Grants 74 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” disbursement for 2019.
This only emphasizes the urgent need as country, to enhance our domestic revenue mobilization to enable us fund our public expenditures.

Total Expenditure (including clearance of Arrears) as shown in figure 6 is estimated at GH¢73,440.8 million, 21.3 percent of GDP.

The estimated expenditure for the year represents a growth of 27.0 percent above the projected outturn for 2018.

322.

Expenditure on Wages and Salaries is forecasted at GH¢19,436.6 million and constitutes 26.5 percent of the Total Expenditure (incl.

Arrears clearance).

As a ratio to GDP, the wage bill is anticipated to reduce to 5.6 percent of GDP from the 5.9 percent projected outturn for 2018.

However, a lot more is needed to reduce the wage bill-tax revenue ratio further down to the sub-regional threshold of 35 percent.

We expect on-going reforms in this area to yield results and move us closer to the sub-regional threshold over the medium term.

323.
323.

Expenditure on the Use of Goods and Services is projected at GH¢6,333.4 million, representing 1.8 percent of GDP and 8.6 percent of the total Expenditure.

The annual growth of 38.8 percent reflects a full provision made to cater for the Government’s priority programmes, including the flagship Free SHS policy which enters its second full year of implementation in 2019.

324.

A total amount of GH¢18,645.7 million has been estimated for Interest Payments of public debt.
Of this amount, domestic interest payments will constitute about 77.8 percent and amount to GH¢14,504.9 million.

75 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 325.

Mr. Speaker, Government in 2019 will continue to implement the Earmarked Funds Capping and Realignment Act to reduce budget rigidities and create fiscal space to fund growth-enhancing expenditures.
In this regard, transfers to Statutory Funds as well as all other earmarked funds, including those retained by MDAs are estimated at GH¢13,798.5 million, equivalent to 4.0 percent of GDP.

326.

Capital Expenditure is projected at GH¢8,531.0 million, equivalent to 2.5 percent of GDP and a growth of 55.7 percent over the 2018 projected outturn.

Of this amount, Domestic financed Capital Expenditure is estimated at GH¢3,222.2 million or 0.9 percent of GDP.
An amount of GH¢5,308.8 million has been budgeted for Foreign Financed Capital Expenditure and this will be funded by a combination of Project Grants and Loans.

Based on the estimates for Total Revenue & Grants and Total Expenditure, the 2019 fiscal operations will result in an overall budget deficit of GH¢14,535.9 million, equivalent to 4.2 percent of GDP (see Table 20).

328. Financing of the fiscal deficit will be from both domestic and foreign sources.

Net Foreign Financing will amount to GH¢9,748.1 million (including a planned 76 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” Sovereign bond issuance of GH¢9,620.0 million).
Total Domestic Financing including financing from the banking and non-bank sectors, as well as other domestic sources is estimated at GH¢4,787.8 million and includes expected inflows from the monetisation of mineral royalties.

329.

Mr. Speaker, Primary Surplus equivalent to 1.2 percent of GDP is projected following Government’s fiscal operations.
Table 20: Budget Financing and Primary Balance for 2019 Budget Item (in GHS mn) 2019 Budget Total Financing Percentage of rebased GDP Foreign Financing Percentage of rebased GDP Domestic Financing Percentage of rebased GDP Primary Balance Percentage of rebased GDP Source: Ministry of Finance PETROLEUM REVENUE 2019 Benchmark Price 14,536 4.2 9,748 2.8 4,788 1.4 4,110 1.2 330.

Mr. Speaker, the Benchmark price for 2019 has been calculated as a seven-year moving average of prices, in line with the PRMA.
This yielded a price projection of US$66.76 per barrel, up from US$65.85 per barrel for 2018.

The gas price for 2019 is also projected at US$$3.99 per MMBtu, up from the 2018 projection of 3.94 per MMBtu.

331.

The crude oil prices were sourced from the following: ICE Dated Brent Crude Bloomberg Historical Prices from 2014 to 2017; ● ● A combination of ICE Dated Brent Crude Bloomberg actuals and futures prices for 2018; and ICE Dated Brent futures from Bloomberg for 2019 to 2020.

● 332.
● 332.

The Gas prices are escalated by a blend of the US CPI/PPI index and the Henry Hub Spot Price Index to capture inflationary trends and movement in global gas prices on the well-head price of gas, in line with the specific contracts.

77 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 2019 Benchmark Output 333.
The 2019 BR crude oil output is 63.4 million barrels (173,764 barrels of oil per day), based on a three-year simple average of each producing field’s actual and projected outputs, as follows: ● Historical (2017): Jubilee, TEN and SGN crude oil output of 58.65 million barrels; ● Current Year (2018): Jubilee, TEN and SGN crude oil production of 60.05 million barrels; and ● Forecast (2019): Jubilee, TEN and SGN crude oil production of 71.57 million barrels:  o/w Jubilee: 32.84 million barrels;  o/w TEN: 25.60 million barrels; and  o/w SGN: 13.14 million barrels.
334.

The same principle was applied to the BR gas output, yielding a total projection of 75.3 Trillion Btu for 2019.

The gas BR output was derived using the following:  Historical (2017): Actual Jubilee and TEN production data for 2017; ● Current Year (2018): Actual Jubilee and TEN production data for January- June; ● Current Year (2018): Projected Jubilee, TEN and SGN production data for July-December; and ● Forecast (2019): Projected Jubilee, TEN and SGN production data for 2019.
2019 Benchmark Revenue 335.

Mr. Speaker, the Ministry is proposing to this august House to allow it to exclude gas revenues to the tune of US$181.80 million from the projected petroleum revenues for 2019, as we devise ways of getting VRA to pay for the gas supplied it by Ghana Gas.
Furthermore, as a measure to minimize the amount of gas produced in the SGN Field for power production, Government has decided to postpone the extraction of its share of the gas resource (Royalties and CAPI), until such a time that we line up off takers to consume the gas in-year.

This is to ensure prudence in a bid to achieve a realistic fiscal deficit for the year and should not be misconstrued to mean that the Ministry will not be pursuing the gas bills, as required by the PRMA.

336.
336.

Mr. Speaker, if the House grants us this request, the projected petroleum revenue for 2019 will amount to US$1,080.74 million.

This is made up of Royalties (US$227.10 million), Carried and Participating Interest (US$602.80 million), Corporate Income Tax (US$249.60 million) and Surface Rentals (US$1.10 million), as shown in Table 21.

Of this amount, US$404.90 million will be ceded to the NOC for its Equity Financing Cost (US$320.10 million) and share of the net Carried and Participating Interest (US$84.80 million), as shown in Table 22.

The NOC’s share of the net Carried and Participating Interest is based on a rate of 30 percent after the Equity Financing Cost has been deducted.

338.

The Benchmark Revenue for 2019, which is the total revenue, net the amount ceded to the NOC, is estimated at US$675.80 million.
Of this amount, a total of US$473.0 million has been allocated to ABFA, while the GPFs will receive US$202.70 million.

The GPFs receipts will be distributed between the Ghana Stabilisation Fund (US$141.90 million) and the Ghana Heritage Fund (US$60.80 million).

Capping the Ghana Stabilisation Fund 341.


Mr. Speaker, the Ministry seeks your permission to maintain the cap on the Ghana Stabilisation Fund at US$300 million, in line with Section 23(3) of the PRMA, to continue with the Ministry’s liability management strategy.

Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy 342.

Mr. Speaker, the 2019 debt strategy will continue to build on the strategy implemented in 2018.
The strategy will focus on an appropriate financing mix aimed at supporting fiscal consolidation without compromising macroeconomic stability.

343.

The Strategy also envisages the issuance of medium-term domestic instruments to help address cost associated with the financial sector clean-up.

With zero central bank financing of the budget still in force, the strategy further envisages a cash buffer beyond the net domestic financing to cater for liquidity and liability management.

344.
344.

Mr. Speaker, to ensure an effective implementation of this strategy, an annual borrowing and recovery plan will be published for 2019 in line with Section 60 (5) of the PFM Law.

345.

Government intends to further develop the primary and secondary markets by reforming the primary dealership framework and facilitates securities trading on the domestic market through the GFIM.

Debt Sustainability Analysis 346.


Mr. Speaker, one of the main goals of the IMF Extended Credit Facility (ECF) was to implement fiscal consolidation to restore debt sustainability and macroeconomic stability.

This goal has been achieved with great success.

To ensure irreversibility, government is committed to maintain debt sustainability to achieve the Ghana Beyond Aid agenda.
In 2019, strategies including capping non-concessional borrowing at US$750.00 million will be enforced to achieve a nominal debt to GDP ratio of not more than 60 percent.

80 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 2019 Sovereign Bond Issuance 347.

Mr. Speaker, Government’s objective is to borrow at least cost and minimum prudent level of risk.

As a result, Government will issue sovereign bond up to US$3,000.00 million.
Proceeds from the issuance will be used to finance critical infrastructure projects and liability management.

348.

Government will explore the possibility and feasibility of issuing one or a combination of the following bonds based on market conditions: Eurobond, Century, Green, Panda and Samurai.

Ghana Fixed Income Market 349.


Mr. Speaker, in 2019, deepening activities on the Ghana Fixed Income Market will improve liquidity by introducing new products such as repurchase agreements (repos), and also provide the platform for corporate and parastatal institutions to issue bonds on the market.

Status of IMF Extended Credit Facility Programme and Government’s Planned Exit Strategy 350.
Mr. Speaker, in April 2015, the IMF Executive approved a 3-year Extended Credit Facility for Ghana following a protracted period of macroeconomic imbalance which led to a slowdown in growth and put Ghana’s medium-term prospects at risk.

The Government then, had tried to achieve fiscal consolidation after the slippage in 2012 but could not succeed as their efforts were undermined by further policy slippages, rising interest cost, weakened net international reserves position and fast depreciating currency.
351.

The Programme sought to: a) strengthen the fiscal position and ensure debt sustainability, b) accelerate a reform agenda by strengthening public financial management and expenditure controls, and c) boost the reserves of the country among others.

352.

Mr. Speaker, after winning the mandate of Ghanaians to govern, we did not abandon the ECF Programme which had derailed.

We have shown commitment to seeing-through the Programme which ends this year and the macroeconomic turn around has been positive.
353.

Mr. Speaker, We successfully completed the combined 5th and 6th review of the IMF Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Programme in April 2018.

Mr. Speaker, it is gratifying to note that in less than a year, under the leadership of His Excellency, President Nana Ado Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ghana has successfully completed three programme reviews, having earlier completed the 4th programme review 81 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” in August 2017.
We are left with two programmes reviews (the 7th and 8th) to successfully complete and exit the IMF ECF programme.

354.

Mr. Speaker, we are on course to completing the 7th programme review which is based on the test date of June 2018.

An IMF staff mission on the 7th programme review was successfully executed in September 2018 and the necessary documentations are now being finalised for an upcoming IMF Board meeting for approval soon.
The 8th and final programme review which will be based on a test date of December 2018 is expected to be completed by April, 2019.

Thus the programme ends in December 2018 but with the last board approval expected by April 2019.

355.

Mr. Speaker, as we work hard to successfully complete and exit the IMF ECF programme, we are mindful of the need to institute measures to ensure irreversibility in macroeconomic gains.
Consequently, Mr. Speaker, we will, among others: ● legislate a fiscal responsibility rule to cap the fiscal deficit within the band of 3-5% of GDP as part of measures to promote budget credibility and fiscal sustainability; ● strictly enforce the PFM Act to promote efficient and effective public financial management; ● continue with the zero central bank financing arrangement with the BoG to curb fiscal dominance as part of measures to rein in on inflation; ● Maximize domestic resource mobilization and increase Tax Revenue-to-GDP ratio to levels in line with our peer Lower Middle Income countries.
We will intensify tax compliance, expand the tax base, and streamline tax exemptions through the deepening of digitalization (port automation, TIN, use fiscal electronic devices, national ID card system, National Digital address system); Implement expenditure efficiency and rationalisation measures to increase efficiency in public spending and free more fiscal space for growth oriented and job-creating programmes; ● ● Continue to implement structural reforms to promote macroeconomic stability, entrench irreversibility, and improve productivity in the public sector; ● Provide adequate budgetary resources to the governance institutions such as the Auditor-General, Office of the Special Prosecutor, and CHRAJ to promote probity, accountability and transparency and further promote zero tolerance for corruption; ● Enforce the Public Procurement Act and ensure sole sourcing is minimized to promote competition and efficiency in public spending, thereby, promoting value for money; and 82 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● Institute risk management framework to mitigate macro-fiscal risks.
In view of this a Fiscal Risks Unit has been established at the Ministry of Finance.

356.

Mr. Speaker, we will like to acknowledge the role and contributions of the IMF in our achievements in macroeconomic stabilisation and growth.

As members of the IMF, Government will continue to engage the IMF through Article IV consultations and other arrangements even after its exit from the current ECF Programme.

Ghana’s contribution to the IMF’s PRGT Account 357.
Mr. Speaker, in December 2010, the IMF sold 403.3 metric tonnes of its gold holdings and realized a windfall profit.

The IMF decided to make two distributions of a portion of the profit to Member States in October 2012 and 2013, subject to the Member States agreeing to contribute at least 90% of their distributed resources to the IMF Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT) account, to help finance concessional loans to Low Income Countries.

358.
358.

Mr. Speaker, on 2nd November 2012, Ghana agreed to contribute its share of the first distribution to the PRGT account.

Subsequently in 2013, Ghana indicated its willingness to contribute its share of the second distribution to the PRGT account, subject to parliamentary approval.

Since then, the funds have been held in an Interim Administered Account (IAA) at the IMF awaiting Ghana’s final instruction.
As at end April 2018, Ghana’s balance in the IAA amounted to SDR 2.74 million, made up of our share in the second distribution and earned income.

The IAA is due to be closed at the end of this month, and as such, this august House is requested to consider and approve Government’s contribution of our second distribution into the PRGT account.

Government’s Social Partnership 359.


Mr. Speaker, Government signaled in the 2018 Budget and the 2018 Mid-Year Review of the 2018 Budget the need to partner with key stakeholders in our beloved country to vigorously pursue our development agenda, including Ghana Beyond Aid.

Mr. Speaker following fruitful discussions, Government, Organised Labour, and Employers have agreed to establish a Social Partnership to provide a platform to deliberate and work together to accelerate Ghana’s development.

360.
Mr. Speaker, more specifically, the Social Partnership will seek to, among others: ● Provide a medium for building a sense of cohesion, trust, self-management, frank and open discussions on commitments to mutual sacrifices and contributions from all stakeholders to champion development; 83 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” ● Undertake analysis on key development issues and advise government on same; ● Deliberate on and make inputs into national development policy discourse, including the National Budget, medium-term plans, and the Ghana Beyond Aid agenda; ● Provide a platform for reaching national consensus on development issues; ● Work with Government to deepen and sustain our macroeconomic gains and ensure irreversibility; and ● Inculcate a culture of cooperation among workers, employers, and Government to ensure industrial peace and maintain Ghana’s international competitiveness in our drive to transform and industrialize Ghana’s economy.
361.

Mr. Speaker, we expect that an MOU to formalise the social partnership arrangement will be signed soon among the partners.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to use this opportunity to express our profound gratitude to Organised Labour and Ghana Employers Associations for their positive response to this seminal initiative.
Mr. Speaker we believe that this partnership arrangement will accelerate inclusive growth and transform the Ghanaian economy, expanding opportunities, and creating jobs to better the lives of Ghanaians.

AGENDA 2030 FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 981.


Mr. Speaker, as we are all aware, in September 2015, World Leaders at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), adopted the post-2015 global development framework; ‘The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’, comprising 17 goals (popularly referred to as SDGs), 169 targets, and two (2) main Means Of Implementation; The Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
The 2030 Agenda is expected to address the three interconnected elements of sustainable development; economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability and has a focus on people, plant, prosperity, peace and partnership.

The ambitious and the transformational nature of the SDGs require value addition partnerships at all levels; Government, Private Sector, Academia, Philanthropy, Parliament and CSOs.

982.
982.

Our President, His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo is a Co-chair of the Eminent Group of SDGs Advocate, a position that has just been renewed for another two (2) year term.

983.
983.

Mr. Speaker, to ensure steady implementation and accountability of the SDGs, Ghana can boast of a three (3) tier implementation structure covering; a High Level Inter-Ministerial Committee, an Implementation Coordinating Committee and a Technical Committee to work directly with MDAs and MMDAs to ensure full alignment of public sector programs with the SDGs, and by extension, African Union Agenda 2063.
The President’s Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policy is operationalised by the Medium–Term National Development Policy Framework dubbed ‘Agenda for Jobs: Creating Prosperity and Equal Opportunity for All.’ Both documents are fully aligned to the SDGs.

984.

The 2030 Agenda also requires a comprehensive approach to resource mobilization from both the public and private sectors as contained in the AAAA.
Accordingly, Ministry of Finance, in its role as a central management agency is making every effort to ensure that its four-fold functions -- mobilise, allocate, disburse and accounting for the funds -- are all Agenda 2030 compliant.

This means that the key outputs of the budget statement and economic policy are all to be linked to the SDGs targets and indicators.
As a first step towards the above, the Ministry initiated a process in 2018 to produce on annual basis, a Sustainable Development Goals budget report to show how we are tracking the financing of the SDGs.

188 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 985.

Mr. Speaker, the purpose of the SDGs budget report is to start developing a methodology that provides a more proactive and collaborative SDGs integrated budget process within and among MDAs.
It also seeks to develop techniques that makes future tracking of annual and cumulative funding in the budget more accurate, and to build the base line for a report series that combine government financing flows with impact data on the SDGs indicators from the national statistical system.
The major conclusion from the maiden SDGs budget report is that government is on course in promoting and supporting an all-inclusive economic development; targeting women, children and the vulnerable to ensure that no one is left behind.

986.
986.

Specifically addressing SDG 17, the report recognises critical enablers to shoring up domestic resources to include; National Digital & Property Addressing System, Accelerated National Identification Programme, Paperless Port System, Excise Tax Stamp Policy and the Tax Revenue for Economic Enhancement (TREE) Project.

The ‘One District One Factory’ initiative is directly addressing SDGs 1, 5, 8, 9, 10.

‘Planting for Food and Jobs’ is addressing SDGs 1, 2, 5, 8, 10.
Again, government interventions aimed at creating the needed environment for youth participation in the fight against poverty include; Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan (NEIP), National Builders Corps (NABCO).

; the focus here being SDGs 1, 4, 5, 8, 9.

LEAP, Labour Intensive Public Works (LIPW) and the Free SHS are working towards SDGs 1, 4, 5, 8, 10.

987.
987.

Mr. Speaker, three (3) years down the implementation of the SDGs, Ghana has in 2018 produced its first SDGs Baseline Report.

The major finding of this baseline report is that the SDGs are reflected in the President’s Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policies (2017-2024), which sets out the goals and aspirations for national development.
This programme forms the basis for the preparation of a detailed medium-term national development policy frameworks (2018-2021) which contains strategies that are consistent with the SDGs targets.

To the extent that the activities from these plans are funded, Ghana will be fully Agenda 2030 compliant, leading to the accelerated and transformative general wellbeing of every Ghanaian.

988.
988.

Mr. Speaker, going forward, the national budget statement and the economic policy of Government will serve as the primary vehicle for financing the SDGs.

Consequently, MDAs have indicated in this budget statement the SDGs that their initiatives are working towards, and this is expected to continue.
In addition, dissemination and sensitisation of SDGs at all levels will be intensified for all actors in the national development process to know and commit to their roles towards the achievement of the SDGs.

Lastly, Ghana will in July 2019, take its turn at the Voluntary National Reviews at the UN Headquarters in New York, to showcase the status of implementation of the SDGs.

989.
Mr. Speaker, among other things, as part of the green initiatives in line with the SDGs, we will, in 2019, work with the Ministry of Energy, to introduce tax free 189 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” solutions for Full Electrical Vehicles in order to promote a technology shift from fossil fuel based vehicles, which is a major global source of climate change gasses, and from diesel vehicles which is a significant source for local air pollution and poses significant health challenges to our people.
Globally, Mr. Speaker, cities such as Hamburg, Oslo and London are introducing car and diesel free zones, to improve quality of life.

The UK, India, France, and other countries, are planning a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030.

A successful transition will require a Public-Private partnership in installing necessary infrastructure for electrical charging.

Mr. Speaker, Ghana cannot be left behind to become the dumping site for environmentally harmful products.
We must be bold in developing policies that embrace these technological shifts.

990.

Mr Speaker, plastic waste continues to be a major challenge in the area of sanitation.

To address this, the Ministry of Environment, Science Technology and Innovation (MESTI) is in the process of finalizing a new National Plastic Waste Policy, which will focus on strategies to promote reduction, reuse and recycling.
I urge our industrial sector to work with MESTI to come up with alternative eco- friendly products from our natural resources.

190 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” SECTION SIX: CONCLUSION Marching Boldly Towards Ghana Beyond Aid 991.

Mr. Speaker, with December, 2018 as the last test date, we are on track to successfully complete and exit the IMF ECF programme.

We have clearly demonstrated our competence in managing Ghana’s economy in the past two years that we have been in Government.
We will remain steadfast in this resolve.

To this end we are putting in place a number of legal and institutional measures to ensure we do not revert to the bad days of macroeconomic mismanagement.

992.

Mr. Speaker, one of the key measures we are institutionalising is the Social Partnership among Organised Labour, Ghana Employers Association, and Government which we believe will provide avenue for the partners to deliberate on significant development matters and providing relevant solutions.

993.
993.

Further, the 6 Strategic Pillars in the 2019 budget put us in a position to advance boldly towards Ghana Beyond Aid.
In this budget we are:  making an unprecedented push in infrastructural expansion; increasing production, and  modernising agriculture, reducing our  dependence on imports for food; forging ahead with a bold and comprehensive industrialisation plan that adds value to our agriculture and natural resources, and leverages our rising population of educated youth;  strengthening our domestic revenue mobilization and taking strong measures to enforce efficiency in public expenditures and protect the public purse; and  building on and strengthening our social interventions in order to ensure that no one is left behind, as we transform our economy and march boldly to a Ghana Beyond Aid.
994.

Mr. Speaker, the future is indeed very bright as we embark on big ticket projects and programmes as part of our resolve to transform the economy and better the lives of Ghanaians.

Mr Speaker:  we are implementing the Sinohydro project which will provide additional   US$2bn in road, rail, and other infrastructure; the Aker oil Field will start producing in 2021 and will eventually add about 100,000 barrels of oil per day to Ghana’s crude oil production.
In addition, ExxonMobil is coming on board soon to explore and produce crude oil in the Deep Water Cape Three Points; the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) will be established to develop an integrated aluminium industry; 191 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity”  Ghana is attracting international car manufacturing giants such as Nissan, Volkswagen, SinoTruk to set up auto assembly plants to produce vehicles.

995.

Mr. Speaker, as you know, H.E.


the President constituted a Committee to draw up a Ghana Beyond Aid Charter.

The Committee comprises representatives from a wide cross-section of Ghanaians, including Government, organised labour, the private sector and employers, and the youth.

Work on the Charter and on the detail contours of the Ghana Beyond Aid agenda is well advanced, and the Committee will present its report to the President before the end of the year.
Following that there will be consultations with Ghanaians before revising the Committee’s work for eventual submission to Parliament for debate.

996.
Mr. Speaker, in March 2017, I presented the first budget of a President who had re-energised the nation and inspired hope in:  the millions of Ghanaians who went to the polls and voted him into government;  youthful Ghanaians who believed that their lives would be turned around;  expectant parents who believed that their burdens will be eased;  hundreds of children who believed and hoped that they will have opportunity to improve their lives through education;  university graduates who believed that they might have opportunity to wake up in the morning, dress up and show up for work;  businesses who believed that interest rates would come down so that they can borrow and expand their businesses and employ more people;  dying businesses that required some stimulus to live again like the bones in Ezekiel;  Ghanaians who had sat in darkness and wanting to see light;  our development partners who believed that they can revitalise their  partnership with us; and the international investor community and also in the IMF, whose programme with Ghana had derailed.
997.
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to announce that those who believed, have seen their dreams and aspirations come to fruition:  100,000 trained graduates who have been home for years, despondent without hope, now have the opportunity to contribute to our national development;  271,000, 16 -18 year olds who would have been thrown onto the streets but for free SHS are now seated in classrooms getting an education and gaining training to give them a better future; 192 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity”  and as the Bible says, for those who sat in darkness, they have seen a great light.
This is in spite of the deep challenge and the grievous harm that has been done through questionable take or pay contracts, for which we will have to pay some $600 million annually whether we switch on the light or not.
But we have resolved to do so;  nurses and teachers who believed that the government will come to their aid, we have met their aspirations and hope; and  over 1.5 million depositors who but for the timely intervention of Government would have lost their businesses and their life savings and deposits of over GH¢ 9 million.

998.
998.

Ghana’s international profile is now on the rise; in the last year, the President has hosted several Heads of State and Governments, as well as high profile international dignitaries.

Global Leaders and investors are lining up now to pay serious attention to Ghana.

999.

Mr. Speaker, we are proud of what we have accomplished in 22 months and are certain and resolved to deliver a future that meets the hopes and aspirations of our people through this budget and into the medium term.

1000.
1000.

Mr. Speaker, this story of hope continues.

This budget meets the expectations of Ghanaians for better infrastructure and housing, increased economic activity industrialisation and agriculture, investment through unprecedented expanding job opportunities for entrepreneurs, and rising incomes.

in 1001.
In the next 26 months, we are determined to address:  the hope of farmers whose food crops are getting rotten through expanded storage facilities; improved marketing and the intervention of the Ghana Commodity Exchange; the challenges faced by communities that lack access to potable water and continue to drink water from streams; the lack of ambulances for our pregnant mothers and sick relatives; transportation challenges through better roads and rail networks; the challenges faced by our market women who have to sell their wares on the dusty ground and in the scorching sun by providing improved markets and stalls; the difficulties faced by fisher folk by providing them with landing beaches, cold storage facilities and thereby improving their incomes;       meeting the spiritual needs of our people with the promotion of the Ghana National Cathedral.
193 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” 1002.

Through this budget, we will frontally address the sanitation challenges faced by many of our towns and cities.

1003.

In this 2019 budget we have chosen to sacrifice and build for the future; we have chosen to invest in people; we have chosen to boldly tackle the infrastructural needs of the people with a $2 billion facility next year.
We have chosen to make our rich oil resources more accessible to credible investors through competitive bidding and we aim to hit, God willing, a million barrels of crude oil production within a matter of a decade.

It may sound ambitious but we are confident in the plan that we have.
We know that Ghana’s rich bauxite resources have the potential to deliver over $500 billion in revenue and create tens of thousands of jobs along the value chain, if we stick to the President’s vision and commitment to build an integrated aluminium industry, as spelt out in the law.

We know that the Ghana industrialisation project is ready for that long-awaited big take-off.
It is not by sheer accident that the big multinationals in the automobile industry are signing up to set up manufacturing hubs in Ghana.

It is not by accident that we were the fastest growing economy in the world last year and still growing strong.

1004.

We have chosen 2019 as the year to begin some landmark redevelopment projects that will stamp Accra’s growing reputation as the main city for business and holiday travellers in our region and beyond.
Three of these major multi-billion cedi redevelopment projects are namely the Marine Drive, Trade Fair Redevelopment and the Energy City.

Ghana, Mr Speaker, is working again and will work for the benefit of the people and to the Glory` of God.

1005.

We have chosen to be bold in devising a budget that deals with the past; delivers opportunity in the present, while investing responsibly into the future.

We will not heed the voices encouraging us to eat the seeds that need to be harvested for the future.
We shall not be discouraged by the voices that seek to play down the gains that we constantly continue to make.

We pledge not to repeat the mistakes of the past; so long as the majority of Ghanaians continue to keep faith with our leadership.

1006.

The 2019 National Budget addresses the past.


Exiting the IMF programme is a great achievement towards fiscal sovereignty but not from eternal fiscal discipline; expenditures on SHS is expensive but a responsible investment that provides incalculable future returns on our greatest asset – our children – the next generation of Ghanaians who will inherit the future that we create today.
In this budget, we have invested in MASLOC so that small businesses up and down the country can have additional cheaper access to credit.

We were also challenged that in looking at the past and into the future we could not ignore the 194 Theme: “A stronger economy for jobs and prosperity” urgency of today—the development and delivery of electricity, inputs for agricultural expansion, health care and better roads and infrastructure.
2019 is a budget that better enables us to balance the decisions of the past and the needs of today with the pillars and foundation needed to build a better tomorrow.

1007.

We also recognize that building national prosperity is not the exclusive domain of Government.

If, we are to win in pushing Ghana Beyond Aid then every single one of us must own it; be citizens in developing our nation and not just mere spectators with strong opinions only as our contribution.
I thank all the productive communities of Ghana and all Ghanaians for the epic sacrifices and contributions you make every day.

I particularly thank the community of faith whose intercession and prayers for this nation are unceasing.
The Government recognizes and appreciates the role you play in fulfilling the biblical mandate in Matthew 25 to “feed the hungry, clothe the naked, take care of the sick and visit the prisoner.” Government’s partnership with you to lift the vulnerable and needy is stead-fast and immovable.

1008.
1008.

I believe, that with faith as our shield and God-loving Ghanaians as partners, the promise of God in Genesis 12:2-3 will also be ours: “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name [Ghana] great... And in you all the families of the (earth) [Ghana] shall be blessed” 1009.

Mr. Speaker, in the Spirit of the season, I declare that by this budget, we bring Glad Tidings of Great Joy, of Hope, Relief and a Renewed strength.

Indeed, Emmanuel God is with us!!!

1010.


God Bless us all and our dear country, Ghana!

1011.

Rt Hon.

Speaker, I so move.
