However, speaking in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, Mr Hadzide explained the report points “to the fact that the people do recognise and appreciate that this administration inherited a very challenging economy.”
He added the report is an indication that measures put in place by the Akufo-Addo government are good work in progress and government take it as feedback.
“We have had to reverse the decline that the economy was facing when we took over and stabilised it,” he said.
