In an interview on Ghana Nti Morning Show on ICAD TV today, economist Sampson Anomah spoke with host Nana Nhyiraba Kwabena Asirifi about the state of Ghana’s economy.
He said the economy is not showing strong or real improvement, describing the progress as mostly “surface-level.”
He pointed to a drop in economic growth from 8.2% to 7.5%, and also mentioned projections from the World Bank, which expects growth to fall further from 6% to 4.8% in 2026.
According to him, the government is focusing more on comparing itself with past administrations instead of building industries and creating jobs.
He called for more investment in manufacturing, infrastructure, and agriculture, saying many farmers and businesses are still struggling because demand is weak.
Mr. Anomah rated the government’s performance at 50%, adding that this rating will remain unless there is clear and lasting economic improvement, not just small changes like lower interest rates.
