Economist with DataBank, Courage Martey says the President’s announcement of GDP growth rebounding to nearly 5 percent in 2021 is not far-fetched.
President Nana Akufo – Addo in his first State of the Nations Address for his second term in office, expressed confidence in the ability of government’s One Hundred Billion Cedi Ghana CARES Obantampa Program to spur the Ghanaian economy to grow by about 5% this year. A rate much higher than the projections of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Ghana for the year 2021, which stands at 4.2%.
