Finance Ministry flays Ram & McRae Budget Focus

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has expressed its disagreement with the views and criticisms of the National Budget 2024 by accounting firm, Ram & McRae, in its publication, Budget Focus 2024.

A summary of the Budget Focus was published in last Saturday’s edition of Stabroek News.

In a release yesterday, the MoF rebutted the accounting firm’s claims, while accusing it of drawing “sweeping conclusions” which lacked rigorous analysis and ignored the “facts on the ground.” It also described the publication as an attempt to obscure the fact that the Budget builds on a strong foundation of responsible fiscal management by the PPP/C Government as it moves forward with its plan to “Stay the Course and Build Prosperity for All.”
