    Excellent presentation! Are the authorities aware of the fact presented?

  • GHANAMAN 1 year ago

    His understanding of things is like a simpleton. High interest rates add to costs of production and prices. Any child knows that. WHAT HE DOESNT UNDERSTAND LIKE THE SIMPLETON ACCOUNTANT THAT HE IS, IS THE EFFECT OF RAISING TH ...

    Surely, it can't be worse than what we are experiencing now if he's even interested in running BOG. Even, so called economic whizz kids have performed abysmally.

  • Abrantie 1 year ago

    That's what he is campaigning for. And it would be worse with his infantile,narrow minded understanding of economics and arrogance. Bogus ecobomics. Doesnt know anything, just arrogance, infantile thinking that he is smart an ...

    He would collapse Bank of Ghana ankasa. You don't know his behaviour!

  • Citizen Vigilante 1 year ago

    You only raise Policy rate when inflation is demand driven and not supply driven as in our case.The continuous hikes in policy rate will only crowd out businesses.The monies printed by BOG is in the hands of Government rather ...

    You think BoG is like managing Hearts of Oak for 25 hours a day unsuccessfully?

  • Nana 1 year ago

    Do that and see what happens to producer price inflation! You don't anything, you won't keep quiet. You open your mouth and people confirm that you don't know much

  • Nana 1 year ago

    Producer prices would keep increasing, sustaining the prices of final goods in the market. If you don't know anything, FYI

  • Patriot 1 year ago

    Very funny when you denigrate the author as a "simpleton" with commentary that is incoherent, riddled with errors and devoid of any substantive reasons why the analysis is wrong. Just saying!

    When his incompetence is highlighted he would come and be pointing at Sunon power plant and Africa World, Chinese owned and managed companies that he has 5% shares in to be their local agent

    This man keeps claiming high interests cause currency depreciation. He doesn't know how stupid he sounds. Such an idiot says he attended business school! Unbelievable! He should stick to accounting. Lol!!!!

  • Naana Jane 1 year ago

    The implied accusation that BoG raised interest rate to profit and pay high salaries from it doesn't even make any analytical sense. In those years that the monetary policy rate was 15%, much lower than the current rates, wit ...
