The outgoing Akufo-Addo administration is all set to leave office next week with positive economic outlook in a number of indicators.
Notwithstanding the devastating economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which the administration has faced, the macro economy under President Akufo-Addo has, according official data, performed better than that under John Mahama's erstwhile regime, which the Akufo-Addo government replaced.
According to Ministry of Finance and Bank of Ghana data, the outgoing government has better record in 10 out of 13 key macroeconomic indicators, with the most significant being GDP growth.
In 2016 when John Mahama was leaving office after he was voted out, the Ghanaian economy was growing at a GDP rate of 3.9%.
