Ghana ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Ghana's economy has been strengthened by a quarter century of
relatively sound management, a competitive business environment, and sustained
reductions in poverty levels. Ghana is well endowed with natural resources and
agriculture accounts for roughly one-quarter of GDP and employs more than half
of the workforce, mainly small landholders. The services sector accounts for
50% of GDP. Gold and cocoa production and individual remittances are major
sources of foreign exchange. Oil production at Ghana's offshore Jubilee field
began in mid-December, 2010, and is expected to boost economic growth.
President MAHAMA faces challenges in managing new oil revenue while maintaining
fiscal discipline and resisting debt accumulation. Estimated oil reserves have
jumped to almost 700 million barrels. Ghana signed a Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC) Compact in 2006, which aims to assist in transforming
Ghana''s agricultural sector. Ghana opted for debt relief under the Heavily
Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) program in 2002, and is also benefiting from the
Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative that took effect in 2006. In 2009 Ghana
signed a three-year Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility with the IMF to
improve macroeconomic stability, private sector competitiveness, human resource
development, and good governance and civic responsibility. Sound macro-economic
management along with higher prices for oil, gold and, cocoa helped sustain
high GDP growth in 2008-12, despite the general slowdown in the global economy
during that same time period.
