Economy
Ghana’s macroeconomic performance has in recent times been positive. This level of performance has been engendered by the prevalence of relative peace coupled with private sector competitiveness; human resource development; good governance and civic responsibility. The sound macro-economic management along with high prices for gold and cocoa helped sustain GDP growth in 2008 and 2009. Ghana is therefore considered a beacon of hope for Africa as it continues to champion the course of good governance and sound economic management.
Economic Growth
Ghana’s economy is seeing significant progress which is underlined by the relative political stability and macroeconomic reforms. The improvement in the economy has engendered an influx of foreign investments of various forms as well as a gradual increase in middle-class professionals. Although Ghana’s economy has for a long time been dominated by the agricultural sector, the industrial and services sectors are developing with increased political stability and government support.
