The Federal government says the country’s recent exit from recession was a direct result of its fiscal policies.

Government insisted that sustained implementation of good fiscal monetary policies as well as economic sustainability plan by President Muhammadu Buhari led to the country’s exit from the recession which is the shortest exit so far.

Minister of Finance, Hajia Zainab Ahmed, who briefed State House correspondents, alongside Ministers of Information and Culture, Mr. Lai Mohamed, and Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Bello, at the end of the Federal Executive Council, meeting, presided over by President Buhari, said the quick exit showed that government’s economic diversification efforts are yielding positive outcomes.

The Minister explained that the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo-led Economic Sustainability Plan, approved by council last June, was being carefully implemented.
