FACT: AID WONT STIMULATE GROWTH.
FOREIGN AID HAS PROVEN TO NOT BE AN ARDENT STIMULATE OF GROWTH FOR ANY LOAN/AID DEPENDENT NATION. LOOK AT THIS MONKEY TEPKER ACCEPTING the imf loan like a monkey accepting banana with a smile on his face. Mahama should spend a core of the loan on energy/dumsor. Then send the rest on empowering the judiciary and law enforcement to tackle corruption, smugglers, fraudsters, cheats and liars in the public sector, tax evaders. *Public corruption contributes to currency/cedi depreciation in value. Corruption repels foreign investors from doing business in Ghana. And leaves Ghana dependent on foreign loans to finance growth. The corrupt govt will then steal the loan monies also. What a shame!
*Religious beliefs, Increase in church attendance, reduces your economic growth and financial prosperity! This is a fact!

We have a so called team-b running the affairs of the country, so what did we expect? A team-a results? Despite all these, this team-b people sit on the radio and television to run their mouth that they have accomplished more than any government in the history of Ghana. Truth be told, can they even compare themselves to the I.K Acheampong regime? Just seeing Asiedu Nketia, Ablakwa and people like the AGRIC minister on TV or hearing them on the radio makes me sick to my stomach. I feel like vomiting anytime I hear one of their incompetent voices anywhere.

THIS INCOMPETENCE OF WAMPAH AND TERKPER IS MIND-BOGGLING TO SAY THE LEAST!

IT'S AS THOUGH THE TWO HAVE NEVER SAT IN AN ECONOMICS LECTURE ROOM.

REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH US DOLLARS THESE TWO DUMP ON GHANA'S ECONOMY, THESE BOOKISH QUANTITATIVE EASING FISCAL POLICIES WILL BROADLY BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, BIG TIME!

GHANA SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THE ECONOMIC BACKBONE TO SUSTAIN A HEALTHY ECONOMY OF GHANA BY ADOPTING ANY FORM OF QUANTITIVE EASING VARIANT.

ALL OF GHANA'S ECONOMIC INDICATORS ARE POINTING DOWNWARDS BECAUSE THE STATE INSTITUTIONS, INSTRASTRUTURE AND MASSIVE GRADUATE TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT NEEDED TO SUSTATIN THE ECONOMY HAVE EITHER BEEN DIVESTED AND THE PROCEEDS POCKETED, OR HAVE PURPOSELY BEEN RUN DOWN BY GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERSHIP.

TEMA OIL REFINERY, STATE CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION, GHANA AIRWAYS, GHANA INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES, STATE TRANSPORT CORPORATION, MERIDIAN HOTEL, AMBASSADOR HOTEL, ATLANTIC HOTEL TAKORADI, BLACK STAR LINE AND MANY OTHERS HAVE ALL BEEN RUN DOWN OR DIVESTED, AND THE PRCEEDS POCKETED BY GHANA'S LAZY "FREE-MONEY-GRABBING" CORRUPT LEADERSHIP.

NO WONDER VIC HAMMAH PLANNED TO LAND ONE MIILION US DOLLARS ON HER FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT BEFORE BEING KICKED OUT OF GOVERNMENT BY THE ELECTORATE.

EVEN STATE LANDS AND STATE HOUSES ARE NOT SPARED IN THIS WANTON PILLAGING OF GHANA BY SUCCESSIVE GHANAIAN LEADERSHIP.

GHANA SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE A FUTURE TO BE PROUD OF, PERIOD.

GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERSHIP HAVE RUN DOWN OUR COUNTRY BIG TIME!!

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHIT!!!

Ghanaweb you can continue with this IMF bailout issues until thy Kingdom come. NDC will still win the elections in 2016. Stop behaving like a rented media of NPP. NDC stop responding to issues on it again. Dwin hwe kan! JM keep pushing on. We are behind you. You are bold and fighting to cut our infrastructural deficit. NPP couldn't. They dont have balls. They ate now envious. They did nothing in 8yrs.They only gave EOGroup 3% of Ghanas oil. This is what Ghanaweb should be thinking about if it wants to help Ghana.

You're partisanship is blinding you to the obvious. Our economy is threatened because of excessive borrowing by Mahama ($20b worth) yet we have "infrastructural deficit)? Where's the money gone?

IMF has this obsession with growth. But if that growth is not export-driven, you'll always end up with pressure on the Cedi. The focus has to be on the productive sectors of the real economy, simple
