Ghana Economic Outlook
- Ghana’s economic growth, which had slowed from 4.0% in 2014 to 3.7% in 2015, is expected to recover to 5.8% in 2016 and 8.7% in 2017, following consolidation of macroeconomic stability and implementation of measures to resolve the crippling power crisis.
- Monetary and fiscal policies were tightened in 2015 and are expected to remain so in 2016 in line with the fiscal and monetary policy consolidation reforms underway as Ghana prepares for national elections in late 2016.
- Ghana continues to experience rapid urbanisation, which has led to a number of sustainable development challenges, particularly regarding sanitation and transportation infrastructure.
