Speaking on TV3’s 7GMT on Tuesday, Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, a Deputy Minister of Finance, disclosed that the budget statement will cover a wider area of the country’s economic spectrum.

He pointed out that President John Dramani Mahama will, in the budget statement, announce a stimulus package for some industries, though, Mr Forson conceded, he was not in a position to divulge the details.
