As the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, presents the 2025 budget in Parliament on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, some Ghanaians have shared their expectations with GhanaWeb's Ernestina Serwaa Asante, on Trending GH.

Some interviewees expressed hope that the NDC government would scrap the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), COVID Levy, betting taxes, and others, as promised during the campaign period in 2024.

Speaking on GhanaWeb TV's Trending GH, one interviewee stated, "The government promised to scrap the E-Levy and other taxes, and we eagerly await this move to finally heave a sigh of relief.

"Reducing fuel prices is crucial to stabilising the cost of goods, which would bring much-needed financial ease to everyone."

Another Ghanaian said she looks forward to a reduction in the prices of goods, as traders continue to raise prices daily, even for old stock.

She suggested that the government engages GUTA in discussions to ensure fair pricing.

Drivers who spoke to GhanaWeb TV lamented the hike in fuel prices and spare parts.

These drivers called for a reduction in fuel prices, explaining that stabilising transport fares without any increment is critical to sustaining their businesses.
