Government Statistician Dr. Alhassan Iddrisu has advised the government to maintain its efforts to keep food prices stable. This comes after a recent decrease in the rate of inflation.
Dr. Iddrisu urged the government to continue its fiscal discipline. He said that current policies have helped lower inflation.
He specifically called for sustained efforts to stabilize food prices. This is a key area needing ongoing attention from the government.
The statistician also suggested targeted investments. These should focus on areas like food storage, irrigation systems, transportation, and improving access to markets.
These investments are intended to reduce regional disparities. This means making sure food prices are more consistent across different parts of the country.
The advice from Dr. Iddrisu highlights the importance of ongoing economic management.
Businesses were also mentioned by Dr. Iddrisu. He stated that with inflation now lower, they should also adjust their strategies.
