Greed and ignorance of our leaders has led to this mess. The state managers in Ghana lack a full understanding of the international political economy--and added to that most of their policies and decisions are geared towards selfish get-rich-quick schemes.

Could you please do another one on some of the problems or good aspects of some of the economic initiatives that are currently being pursued.
I actually believe that the current directives from BoG will tackle some of the issues you raised. The government has also talked about processing our cocoa and gold to increase the value of our exports. But the government is also still borrowing and taking gargantuan loans from other countries.
This is what I expect the supposed think tanks in the country to come out with and not the politically motivated garbage they are spewing out everyday.

Your explanation isn't one I've come across so far from anyone recently, maybe I'm not reading or listening in the right places. I'm disappointed though at the readership so far, not very encouraging if we all need to understand what is happening to our economy.

"...if we are NOT selling anything of value, we can’t expect our economy to reflect value in the Cedi." There are Ghanaians right now, Ghanaians of all people who don't value the Cedi.
There was a moment in the U.S. recently around 90's or so(and probably still is) when Americans would make other Americans feel embarrassed if they bought anything from another country. Especially when it came to government. TV reporters would trace items government bought back to the original manufacturer and expose the department responsible for buying something, for example, from China.
