GHANA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Ghana's economy was strengthened by a quarter century of relatively sound management, a competitive business environment, and sustained reductions in poverty levels, but in recent years has suffered the consequences of loose fiscal policy, high budget and current account deficits, and a depreciating currency. Ghana has a market-based economy with relatively few policy barriers to trade and investment in comparison with other countries in the region. Ghana is well-endowed with natural resources. Agriculture accounts for nearly one-quarter of GDP and employs more than half of the workforce, mainly small landholders. The services sector accounts for about half of GDP. Gold and cocoa exports, and individual remittances, are major sources of foreign exchange. Expansion of Ghana’s oil industry is expected to boost economic growth. Production at Jubilee, Ghana's offshore oil field, began in mid-December 2010 and is expected to double Ghana’s oil output between 2014 and 2017. The administration faces dissent from a population that is unhappy with the high cost of living and perceives that the gains from oil are going to the politically corrupt. A new IMF assistance program, expected to start in 2015, will guide the government’s economic policies and help reduce the fiscal deficit by cutting subsidies, reducing the bloated public sector wage bill, and strengthening revenue administration, but related austerity measures will be unwelcomed by the public.
