Ghana is still broke - Joe Jackson cautions against high expectations

The CEO of Dalex Finance, Joe Jackson, has asked Ghanaians to be circumspect with their expectations of the government since Ghana is still in a crisis.

According to him, Ghana is still broke, and things are still very tough with the government's limited resources.

He noted that the public purse is still under immense pressure, and Ghanaians must laud the government for the laurels it has chalked in the first six months of power.

He was speaking on an X space by GhanaWeb Business, titled "2025 Mid-Year Budget Review: Expectations and Key Priority Areas," on July 23, 2025, in anticipation of the minister's address on Thursday, July 24, 2025.

"Let no one think that we have come out of the economic crisis, so we can start partying again. Ghana is still broke. Things are still tough. And all the stakeholders, traders, exporters, public servants, the private sector, etc, have to accept that things are still tough and we all have to temper our expectations," Jackson said.

He also noted that his key expectations from the government are to continue on the trajectory that they are currently on.
