Accra, Dec.20, GNA - The "no-money" syndrome on the lips of most traders in the city of Accra seemed to have created a very low expectation for celebration of this year's Christmas festivities when the Ghana News Agency interviewed them on Tuesday.

Mrs Patricia Amoateng, a trader at Makola Market in Accra, said she operated a Mother Care Shop and last year's Christmas was better in terms of sales.

She said "Last year around this time my shop was empty, making customers to demand more products."

Mrs Amoateng pointed out that the prices for last year were still maintained due to the complaints from customers of "no money" but there were low sales.
