Dressed in his customary all-white attire, the Minister was greeted by Deputy Minister, Abena Osei Asare and Minister of State (in charge of finance) Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam with smiles.

A notable change during Ofori-Atta’s arrival was his choice of bag. In previous budget presentations, the Finance Minister had consistently used a brown leather bag.

However, for the 2024 presentation, he opted for a green leather bag, sparking curiosity about whether this choice carried a symbolic message.

While it remains unclear if the Minister intended to convey a particular message with the new colour, he took a moment to pose for photos upon his arrival.
