He added: "I say so because we have won some painful but necessary battles for God and country. We have stabilised the microeconomic turbulence that was all too regular a feature in the management of the national economy. We have delivered on our flagship programme. The gains made so far are significant and it is indeed to the glory of God."
Earlier, the Minister gave his plain diagnosis of the state of Ghana's economy.
He said the NPP-led government under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo met a budget deficit of 9.3% from the Mahama administration.
He said every Ghanaian knows that the country was broke before the NPP took over from the NDC in 2017.
Speaking on Citi TV, Ken-Ofori-Atta said "You can't get away from the numbers… As to we declaring, we don't have money, every Ghanaian knew that we're broke when we came into power…"
