Professor Peter Quartey, Director of the Institute of Statistical, Social, and Economic Research (ISSER), has urged Ghana to shift its focus from exporting raw materials to adding value to its products, following new tariff measures imposed by the United States.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Thursday, April 3, 2025, Prof.
Quartey shared his thoughts on the economic implications of the US tariffs announced just a day earlier.
On April 2, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced a series of sweeping tariffs, including a 34% tariff on Chinese imports, a 20% tariff on goods from the European Union, and a 10% tariff on Ghanaian exports.
