Delivering the conclusion, Prof. Quartey advanced some bold recommendations, which were captured and reported by media representatives who attended the forum in high numbers.

The post budget review fora provide an important platform for the Institute to provide objective and independent analysis on the government’s account of national fiscal performance during the fiscal year, educate the public and proffer recommendations aimed at achieving stronger fiscal and social and economic outcomes.
