A Timely Dialogue for a Nation in Transition
Mr. Sarpong steps into the role with nearly three decades of experience in audit, corporate advisory, and financial leadership. His tenure begins as Ghana implements a bold fiscal plan led by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, aimed at stabilizing the economy and consolidating public finances.
The upcoming dialogue will delve into:
- Structural tax reforms and the future of Ghana’s revenue model
- Integrating digital tools and AI to modernize tax administration
- Efforts to improve compliance within the informal sector
- Debates around the return of road tolls and fairness in corporate taxation
Beyond the Budget: Building Public Trust
The conversation is expected to tackle deeper issues beyond technical reforms, including how to rebuild public confidence in tax institutions and ensure transparency in revenue use.
It also aims to clarify policy direction, address lingering misconceptions, and foster accountability from the nation’s revenue authority. The discussion will be streamed live on X Spaces at 7 PM GMT on May 6, bringing together economists, entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and policy watchers from across Ghana and beyond.
