How Ghana’s rising star plunged into an economic crisis - BBC Africa

The president need to resign is voluntary house slave ask the slaves master the west for help

It was obvious that it was smoke.
Ghana borrowed more than it had in reserves.

Some African country stops being dogs**t for like 5 years: OMG RISING STAR
When it inevitably return to being dogsh*t:

Daniel Dadzie, keep it up ❤

This is all deception my people. It was simply because Ghana never want to have anything to do with LGBTQ+ that is why they lowered our ESG score and it affected our economy negatively drastically. Ghana was doing well and projected to be the best growing economy post covid. If you think ESG score and LGBTQ don’t connect. You have a whole lot to learn. Those who created ESG scores are the powerful people behind the LGBTQ agenda. Black Rock, State Street, Vanguard, Goldman Sachs, Berkshire Hathaway, etc, etc. the moment your ESG score goes down, it means lack of investor confidence, they sell your bonds for cheap and u plunge. Go learn about ESG score and u will understand all these things. Ghanas economy relies heavily on foreign investment so it affected us drastically

Waste money building unnecessary infrastructure that people can live without instead of building factories to create jobs and export billions worth of goods so that the country can earn billions in foreign currency. Now the country's economy is suffering lol. STUPID GOVERNMENT LEADERS.

Did not know that Eskom had taken over the power supply in Ghana.

This is what happens when you kiss up to the white man.

Do not believe any news from BBC in the African continent, they are racist, hateful & bias in the continent of Africa, In the UK some people are homeless, food bank is in every street in the UK & due to cost of living crisis old people in the care home are like treated like commodities dying like chicken but will not report that to the outside world

I thought Ghana recently discovered oil reserves.

Kenya might be headed there too

i have seen for myself the crisis in ghana. feel terrible for the people there rn.

Cost of living is number one. Keeping inflation rates stable, and keeping people's stomachs full by keeping the prices of basic necessities affordable are the main priorities of the government's obligations. Whatever your model of government. Whatever your party. Whatever your ideology. Whatever economic strategy is used, it is number one. People don't care, the important thing is that their stomachs are full, the prices of basic necessities are cheap and affordable, and the inflation rate is stable. That's the point.

How can a country depreciate their currency... And get 99% of debt... To GDP...
Ofcourse, it's mismanagement. My question is where did all that money go..

We are still the shinning star of Africa, nonsense propaganda, our economy now is better than Nigeria and Kenya. You trying to make this government unpopular. Funny documentary, we Ghanaians are not fools, we know what is good. This government is going to win the next election and Ghana is going to be number one in the world 🌎.

Four eyes is an understatement, my man got telescopes and microscopes combined into one. did this man grow up staring at the sun? 😂

I was living in Ghana in the late 2010s (I’m from the US), came home just before COVID, and got to see the massive growth of the country in that period. To see it basically take a 180 degree turn and see how much worse off the economy is makes a person sad.

Ghana got independence in 1957, as did Malaysia and both countries were roughly on an economic par. Colonial records show that in the early 1950s, Ghana and Malaysia were equally dependent on exports of raw materials. Today, Ghanaians get by on one tenth of what Malaysians earn and the country is still exporting raw products like cocoa and gold, while Malaysia makes its own cars and boasts cities of skyscrapers

Simply because of the useless Akufo Addo

I am really disapointed of Nana akufoado, all talk...

Its scary how similar this sounds to Kenya😢

Same here in Nigeria 🇳🇬 😢. Shaking my head for the corruption of African Leaders . I can't even explain it . They don't even regard the masses

They are lying.......their imprudent spending is causing them

Finland is next to Russia(i live here) isn't blaming their economic problems on Ukraine war, n you all the way in west Africa is doing that?
Do better Mr President

Africa can’t grow wheat. Stop eating a western diet IMO.

People please use common sense look at cultures around the world, based on your atittude to handling Money,,how you view Money, what you invest your Money on, how you Save your Money and Lastly how you spend it.The Countries Which prosper have the same mindset The countries which Fail have the same mind set.The countries which PROSPER do not follow the Countries which FAIL,and the Countries which FAILdo not look at the Countries which PROSPER😢. Black People stop spending MONEY you DO NOT HAVE , AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT SPEND WISELY. There in lies the ANSWER.

Africa need to grow their own food and grain. World bank keep the black and brown countries poor they dont do that to the white countries

BBC... Leave Ghana alone.

I Hope; their [very]_economy: recovers *and GROWS; Again.*

Useless piece

Yet, they stay trying to convince Black Americans to move there and invest. What a joke.

STOP discrimination against homosexuals in Africa STOP ✋ homophobia.

African Arab, Sahel, Magreb, Berber gays homosexual people can come to Poland, Słovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bułgaria, Croatia will receive protection, shelter in the Intermarium countries, we invite you in these countries, homosexuality is legal, there is protection against harm and hatred.

By usage of the word WORLD plays into yet again the old tricks of one sided Global supremacist domination 1st class 🤣🤣

You are either sovereign or remain a pathetic senile slave. I remember this dwarf of a president of Ghana at some international fora stumping his shambolic pan Africanist credo, amongst all other phoney self embellishing scams portraying Ghana as self dependent and not reliant on donors. So when a clown a corrupt leader shows himself to be just a western puppet instead of being a leader, what you see is Ghana sinking into a bottomless pit of deceit, moral decay and stinking political shenanigans. Go to Burkina Faso or Rwanda and see how self dependence and visionary leadership is about.

Ghana's government has to do better for its people

Hey when are you guys going to post your interview with President Irfaan Ali?

😢

The most useless government I have ever witnessed in Ghana. Tweaaa!!!

Ghana is bleeding and yowling terribly because of the wicked and useless leaders were have. We are living in an irreparable economic tragedy. We are despaired in the immeasurable deep gulf we found ourselves within. Failed leadership!

The economy is undoubtedly in irreparable tatters and the big wits in power are imperious and hopelessly bewildered. I don't think this government can salvage this quagmire. We are lost!

Look at all the fkin houses that ghanian gov's have in their home villages 🤡 these guys are just well spoken kids that run after materialism

It's Kenya's turn soon

BBC, did your country grow post covid.
