Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The government must initiate new measures to broaden the tax net to shore up its revenue rather than the traditional approach of burdening the exist\u00ading tax payers through the hiking of taxes and the introduction of new ones, some economic stakeholders have said.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to them, it was important that new initiatives and strategies were deployed in the 2024 budget to improve tax collec\u00adtion to shore up government revenue and also outline measures to help address the macroeconomic challenges such as high cost of capital, deficit and inflation bedeviling the country.<\/p>\n

In addition, they said the government should outline initiatives in the 2024 budget to support the private sector and spur its growth to foster economic development and job creation.<\/p>\n

The Director of the Institute of Statistics, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) of the University of Ghana, Professor Peter Quartey, the former Chief Executive Officer of Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), Dr James Asare-Adjei, the President of Gha\u00adna Insurers Association (GIA), Seth Aklasi, the President of Insurance Brokers Associa\u00adtion of Ghana (IBAG), Shaibu Ali, the Pres\u00adident of Chartered Insurance Institute of Ghana (CIIG), Solomon Lartey, stated these in separate interviews on their expectations on the 2024 Budget and Economic Policy of the government.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, is expected to present the 2024 Budget and Economic Policy of government to Parlia\u00adment on Wednesday in line with the Public Financial Management Act.<\/p>\n

Next year\u2019s budget would be a crucial one since it marked the last budget for the ruling New Patriotic Party government and economic watchers are patiently waiting with bated breath policies the government would initiate to bring back confidence in the econ\u00adomy and policies to ameliorate and address the socio-economic difficulties Ghanaians and businesses were going through.<\/p>\n

It would also be a budget under an Inter\u00adnational Monetary Fund programme and the concerns of the general public and business\u00ades would be whether the government would pursue an austere budget to bring down growing public debt and deficit or flexible policies to drive economic and business growth.<\/p>\n

Prof. Quartey said \u201cI don\u2019t expect new or an increase in taxes, in next year\u2019s budget but rather measures to broaden the tax net,\u201d saying that \u201cRather the existing taxes should be reviewed and those that are not perform\u00ading scrapped.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raising concerns about the country\u2019s fis\u00adcal situation, the Director of ISSER stressed the need for the Finance Minister to outline strategies to reduce and rationalise govern\u00adment spending, adding that some of the off budget spending should be reduced or eliminated to ensure that the country\u2019s tax collection was more efficient and promoted value for money.<\/p>\n

On job creation, the Director of ISSER said there should be measures to promote employment, saying under the IMF pro\u00adgramme, restrictions were placed on employ\u00adment.<\/p>\n

Dr Asare-Adjei expressed concern about the prevailing high interest rate.<\/p>\n

According to him, interest rate was out of the roof and the wish of the private sector was for the government to introduce in the 2024 budget and economic policy measures to boost private sector growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, what we\u2019re looking forward to, based on what we have seen in 2023 and the fact that we are in the IMF programme, are more practical sort of budget outline that will help in addressing the key challenges facing the businesses in particular and the economy in general,\u201d Dr Asare-Adjei stated.<\/p>\n

He said the current macroeconomic chal\u00adlenges were making it difficult for the private sector to expand and create enough jobs to absorb the over 200,000 graduates which were churned out every year by the various tertiary institutions in the country due the current macroeconomic challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us listen to varied opinion in prepar\u00ading the 2024 budget and economic policy of government so that collectively we would be able to bring the country out of the current woods,\u201d Dr Asare-Adjei.<\/p>\n

Mr Aklasi for his part said the insurance industry needed stability in the market to help the industry overcome the challenges it encountered through the implementation of the debt exchange programme this year.<\/p>\n

He said the industry suffered a 30 per cent loss of its assets due to the DDEP, stating that \u201cWe need the market to be stable for us to be able to invest and turn around the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Aklasi said the 2024 budget must come out with strategies to reduce excessive borrowing which had brought about the macroeconomic difficulties.<\/p>\n

The President of IBAG, Mr Ali, said the 2024 budget should be \u201cFluid to turn the economy around,\u201d adding that \u201cOnce the economy is turned around, the insurance sec\u00adtor will definitely benefit because businesses and individuals will buy insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect policies that will help promote economic activity for the various industries and companies and the broader economy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Mr Lartey said he did not expect reduction in taxes because government did not have the fiscal capacity to give financial reliefs in next year\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth of the matter is government does not have the money. There are debts that are being piled up, treasury bills are soaring and currently at 30 plus per cent and so with that situation, there is not much that can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Lartey entreated government to be a little more efficient in the use of existing resources and outline measures to promote efficiency in the use of public resources in next year\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n
