Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah attributes Ghana’s recent economic gains to President John Dramani Mahama’s honest and accountable leadership.
He credits the current administration’s strategic decisions, reduced corruption, and improved governance for the positive economic outlook, as evidenced by reports from the Bank of Ghana.
In a statement titled “The Great NDC and Ghana under a Great President Make Ghana Shine Again,” Spio-Garbrah celebrated what he called a remarkable turnaround in Ghana’s economic outlook, citing recent positive reports from the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and other economic indicators.
“The excellent results being announced by the BoG and in other areas of the economy are a testament to the President’s integrity and the professionalism of his appointees,” he stated.
Below is the full statement by Ekwow Spio-Garbrah
The Great NDC and Ghana under a Great President Makes Ghana Shine Again
The excellent results being announced above by the BoG and in other aspects of the economy are due to a combination of:
—Ghanaians electing a far more honest President on Dec 7th last year
—President JM holding himself and the GoG accountable to a tight 120-day deadline for achieving key targets
—Quick nomination, Vettings, and emplacements of appointees
—Better decisions by the President and new NDC appointees
—Better coordination between the Minister of Finance and the Gov of the BoG
—The wise decision to create the GoldBod and give it an exclusive mandate on Gold exports
—Better and more honest and accountable behavior by relevant GoG officials
—Favorable pricing conditions on the global Gold and Cocoa markets
—Less or no blatant stealing by GoG officials. This last factor alone was responsible for the losses being declared under NPP at the Cocobod and in the Gold trade.
Congratulations to all Ghanaians, but especially Mr President, Finance Minister, BoG Governor, and GoldBod CEO.
