Regarding the stabilization of the Ghana cedi against further depreciation, he stated that the Bank of Ghana (BoG), with its adequate gold reserves, would provide stability to the currency.
His government plans to ensure that all gold concessions are owned by Ghanaians, with the processed gold being sold to the Central Bank to bolster the country's reserves.
The Geological Survey Authority and technical universities will be resourced to explore the seven gold belts in the country, ensuring that the gold concessions yield positive results.
Dr. Bawumia also reiterated his plans to establish a Minerals Development Bank to assist small-scale miners in obtaining funding for their businesses, noting that the sector could generate three billion dollars annually.
In terms of fiscal discipline, the NPP Flagbearer assured that his administration would ensure the Fiscal Responsibility Council operates independently with oversight responsibility over the Ministry of Finance.
He committed to reducing his government's expenditure by three percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), amounting to approximately GH₵30 billion every year.
Dr. Bawumia reaffirmed his commitment to appointing no more than 50 ministers in his administration.

He firmly believes that innovative ideas, well-structured systems, and efficient institutions are essential for transforming a country.
The campaign's theme is "Bold Solutions for our Future," and the slogan is #Itispossible.
