The Vice President of IMANI Africa, Selorm Branttie, has attributed the shrinking of Ghana's economy to a widespread lack of appreciation for value creation.

Contributing to a discussion on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Tuesday, November 19, about the rising cost of food and services and its devastating impact on the citizenry, he emphasized that the health of any economy is directly tied to the value it can generate.

According to Mr Brantie, "Every economy thrives on how much value you are able to add to it.

So, if you give me a 100 cedis and I am able to transform it to and add let's say 10 cedis to it, that is creating extra value.
