Following A Slow Rate Of Growth In 2020, Ghana Is Recovering Faster..

Several countries are battling to skip back from the effect of Covid-19, but as indicated by the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ghana’s economy is bouncing back faster from the attacks of the pandemic than imagined, following a sluggish pace of growth in 2020.

The President spread the word about this at the maiden edition of the Presidential Business Support, on Tuesday, fourteenth September 2021, at the Kempinski Hotel-Ghana.

According to President Akufo-Addo noted the support offered by the private sector, coupled with effective management of the COVID-19 crisis by Government, have seen the Ghanaian economy outperforming her peers, and rebounding faster than envisioned.

He said- – subsequent to recording negative growth in the second and third quarters of 2020, the economy recuperated unequivocally in the final quarter of the year, and well into the first and second quarters of 2021, enrolling a great growth pace of 3.1% in the first quarter of this year, and 8.9% in the subsequent quarter.

He further communicated that, the solid bounce back in growth, low interest rates, the stable currency, the strong reserve position, and FDI flows are clear indicators of our collective desire to restore the Ghanaian economy onto a path of sustained stability and growth. He said Ghana will proceed to fortify and extend her commitment with the private sector towards realizing this objective.

Since 2017, Government has executed arrangements and projects that prompted steady final growth averaging 7%, making Ghana one of the world’s fastest growing economies.
