Communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah has indicated that if not for the global Coronavirus pandemic, Ghana’s economy would have remained one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.
Despite the setback, the NPP Communications Director is confident that government will succeed in bringing back the economy to make Ghanaians happy.
“But for Covid-19, Ghana's economy will still be one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. We know how to bring back the economy and will bring it back for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” Richard Ahiagbah said in a post on Twitter.
Due to the current economic crisis facing the country, government is in talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a support programme.
Already, a staff-level agreement has been reached, pending a board-level agreement that government anticipates it will secure in the middle of March.
