Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 68733, member: 636"] Ghana's finance minister inspected the stalled Takoradi Market Circle construction site on Saturday as the government prepares to deliver its 2026 budget statement on Thursday, November 13. Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson emphasized the project's potential to strengthen commerce and improve conditions for traders throughout the Western Region during his assessment of the abandoned development. The minister indicated that construction crews will return to the location in early 2026 following the completion of debt restructuring negotiations currently underway. The redevelopment aims to modernize the trading center with enhanced safety features and improved facilities for merchants and shoppers. The site visit represents part of broader government efforts to restart infrastructure work that has been delayed across the country ahead of unveiling fiscal plans and economic recovery strategies for the coming year.
