some on this forum have doubted the warnings we have elaborated many times , now the reality has come home . these muslims wish nothing good for us and must be eliminated from our society. For decades and in some cases centuries they have lied to us , misled our leaders and since the Arab spring kill at every opportunity our people . we should close all embassies in these foolish countries and be ready as soon as they bring their stupidity here kill them all . if you are a Ghanian you have no business following a religion of hate. the ewes have used this alliance to gain power but now they will rethink who their allies should be and change their anti Akan mentality

Your economy is not strong and sturdy when you continue to enjoy assistance from a whole range of development partners with increase in grants and loans by 24% in the last two years, but decreasing proportion of revenue from oil production.

Your economy is not strong and sturdy when your development partners have substantially increased their levels of budget support to approximately 30 percent of Official Development Aid. Actual multi-donor budget support in 2012/2013 was estimated at US$425 million, or 21 percent of total assistance, while un-earmarked sector budget support is another US$140 million (7 percent).

Unfortunately, the government is not aware that for the economy to be strong and sturdy it is not the matter of everyday propaganda. However, the need to pursue stabilization over the next several years, while encouraging growth through reforms in productive infrastructure, agricultural modernization, private sector development and investment in social services

The economy that was on the deathbed waiting for the release of Chinese 3 billion dollar loan to resuscitate it cannot be said to be getting better.

Are you aware this government stopped all developmental projects because there is no money to pay for them? All empirical evidence show that, Ghana's economy is in the doldrums. GYEEDA and NHIS have failed under Mahama. Workers are not getting paid, and strike by workers is an everyday occurance. You need to get your facts right.

If we can start letting people accountable for their silly actions, we will start to get somewhere. Example, The same road construction can be contracted over and over...things like these are what makes it hard to believe in the economy. But the World bank report says we are growing.

Do you consider a country with a very high unemployment rate especially youth unemployment of more than 60% "strong and study"?
Ghana's economy is characterised by:
1. High public debt
2. High fiscal deficit
3. Low infrastructural development - poor transport networks
4. Huge housing deficit
5. High unemployment rate
6. Uncontrolled unproductive government and public expenditure
7. Non-existence and Poor heath and public services delivery
8. Unreliable and highly inconsistent utilities (electricity and water) service delivery which are seriously affecting economic activities in the country
YET MAHAMA YOU ARE LYING DESPITE THE ABOVE THAT GHANA'S ECONOMY IS STRONG AND STURDAY? THIS SHOWS YOUR LEVEL OF IGNORANCE ON GHANA'S ECONOMY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YOU ARE CARRYING YOUR CORRUPT AND FRAUDULENT PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIOUR EVERYWHERE.
Mahama beware that the people you are lying to unlike your die-hard NDC fanatics can think for themselves and realise your lies.
All the figures you quoted relates to Africa as a whole and nothing relates to Ghana where your NDC government is fraudulently spending and amassing wealth on party members at the expense of the citizens.

There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanritan reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imagining if Ghana is not the same as Haiti!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turn into a tribal politics!!#
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....

Mahama and his NDC crooks such as Asiedu-Nketia has made our nation the most hopeless state in Africa. Mahama
employed total trillions of dollars
debt on the people of this nation, but Ghanaians can't see what NDC Government has used the money for,
Mahama is going about doing is bunch
promises upon promises but cannot deliver a pin.

If the loans will be used for the purpose for which they are taken, then there is nothing much to worry about. There is no country that doesn't owe. The NDC government must prove their critics wrong by making sure that there is improvement in infrastructure, quality healthcare, zero tolerance to corruption etc., etc.

Is about time we realised that debt financing is another strategy to grow your economy, so my friend the NPP should go back to the drawing broad and come back later. We all want to go to USA, have we ask them how they are financing their development? Bailing out their failed industries. Opposition always have something to say because they are not the once in charge. The creating of jobs, good transport system require a lot of money, the question we should be asking is how are we going to create a system that can repay these monies being invested. Like the introduction of prepaid ticket like the Oyster Card in the UK to these corrupt conductor in the metro buses, and other systems.

If you borrow on behalf of a country and loot the proceeds and share, what benefit is it to the country? What is there in Ghana to show for all the excessive borrowing? The potholed dusty roads?, The traffic jammed roads in our cities?; The broken educational and health care systems? Tell me one thing the NDC government has improved since they came to power in the last four years. The erratic water and electricity services/ Or what has been the better Ghana's achievement? Illiterates like you are the reason why a beautiful country like Ghana is saddled with such an incompetent and looting Brigade of a government.

Oh NO Mahama, be realistic. Our economy is NOT strong. Have you soon forgotten about the reality in Ghana? Can you be honest to say this to the people of Ghana. Our infrastructure cannot support any meaningful investment, our policies and tax system are archaic, bureaucracy is our greatest liability. Ghana is one country you cannot conduct a simple business transaction on the phone because people prefer to meet and 'talk' about it. The frustrations in doing business is a enormous. If you are really serious in bragging about Ghana, appoint smart people who know and understand how a smart economy should be ran, and leave these KNOW NOTHING hangers on who think they are managing Ghana. Don't you realize Ghana is not attracting serious investors?

It is true that the continent Africa is experiencing a steady rise in it's GDP growth rates, collectively. However putting Ghana's economy in it's right and proper perspective, Ghana's growth rate has started to decline consecutively over the past 2 years, from a high of about 13-14%, in 2010-11, on the back of oil exploration and production, with it projected to be at about 7%, steadily declining from figures from last year, hovering around 8.5%. Ghana is going backwards and the President is being extremely economical with the truth. The economy of the country is in the tanks, FDI has dwindled on the back of the lack of critical infrastructure to sustain growth, mismanagement of the economy, coupled with huge doses of marked incompetence and ineptitude, lack of policy direction and focus, outright failure of some policies, which are at best ad-hoc in nature, with no clear cut long term strategic goals, fueled by humongous thievery and looting of the national purse, have all culminated to create huge challenges for Ghana's economy and policy experts, CSO's, the business community, labour, the clergy, think tanks, the citizenry, etc, etc, are complaining about the dire straits which have been visited on Ghanaians, by the Mahama-Amissah Arthur administration with no end in sight. It is extremely inappropriate for JM to be skewing the facts on the ground to such an august body. It leaves a sore taste in the mouth of well meaning and right thinking individuals of society.

ANY TIME MAHAMA OPENS HIS MOUTH, HE TALKS SHIT.

A STRONG ECONOMY HAS NO PROBLEMS IN MEETING PUBLIC SERVICE WAGE BILLS.

A STRONG ECONOMY DOES NOT IMPOSE EXPLOITATIVE TAXATION ON IT'S CITIZENS.

A STRONG ECONOMY DOES NOT BRING ABOUT THE NEED TO INCREASE FUEL PRICES TO THE EXPLOITATIVE LEVELS GHANAIANS ARE WITNESSING NOW.

A STRONG ECONOMY EQUALS A STRONG INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING BASE, WHICH, CLEARLY, ARE LACKING IN GHANA.

STRONG ECONOMY EQUALS LOW LEVELS OF UNEMPLOYMENT.

A STRONG ECONOMY MEANS STRONG PURCHASING POWER OF THE CEDI. TODAY GHc500.00 IS NOTHING BECAUSE IT CAN'T PAY THE YEARLY RENT OF A DECENT ONE BEDROOM HOUSE. IT CAN'T PAY THE ANNUAL SCHOOL AND FEEDING FEES OF A SECONDARY (JHS) BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENT.

MAHAMA TALKS LIKE A STARK ILLITERATE.
EVEN STARK ILLITERATES WITH COMMON SENSE KNOWS THE ECONOMIC IS ON THE DECLINE.

OBVIOUSLY MAHAMA'S FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS ARE OVERFLOWING WITH DOLLARS, EUROS AND UK POUNDS STERLING, SO HE THINKS GHANA'S ECONOMY IS FINE. FOOL!!!
