Director of Business Operations at Dalex Finance, Mr. Joe Jackson, has voiced doubt regarding the Finance Minister-designate’s ability to tackle the nation’s economic hurdles within a limited timeframe.
While acknowledging the appointee’s expertise as a proficient economist, Mr. Jackson cast uncertainty on the impact he could have at this late stage.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based UTV, Mr. Jackson expressed concern that the new minister might not instigate significant changes to mitigate the ongoing economic downturn.

Despite acknowledging the minister-designate’s commendable track record in pro-poor economics, Mr. Jackson contended that, given the current circumstances, there may be constraints on what he can accomplish.
He questioned whether the appointee could introduce alternative strategies to alleviate the prevailing economic conditions.
The financial expert voiced skepticism about the minister-designate’s ability to remedy the situation, underscoring the nation’s challenges and stressing the necessity for innovative approaches to tackle them.
