  Well done sir, this has equally been my stance. We don't need IMF for anything, this is the opportunity for Africa to revolutionize their economy without outside influence. Trade among african countries and also government should enforce the law to prevent foreign companies from exporting or resources in it raw state. Let make trade policies that favor us first before any another country. Puplblic private partnership is equally a way to go, example our local markets and agriculture farms, schools etc.... as long as IMF is involved we will never succeed, they only push their interests on us which is not the best.

  Ghana can mobilise $600 trillion us dollars worth of Cedis to fund specific projects without attracting an iota of inflation - the solution lies with serious monetary policies - central bank. +233 5004 11111

  600 trillion dollars? On which planet are u living on Mr Salim? Even the US don't mention that kind of money. The whole world's economy is not even close to that sum of money. The Dr is talking about raising 40 billion us dollars. The likes of Elon Musk have that money in shares in his companies.If only he will help us!! Ghana can raise 10 billion plus if we try to leverage our resources with international investors to come and help us add value to them before we export. Not in it's raw state like we have been doing for years for most of our exports.

  This is a brilliant idea if only Ghanaians would support it. You know how investment in this country has been discouraged by the previous government. Investing in financial institutions became a crime. Without thorough planning Bank of Ghana, Ministry of Finance and the President revoked licences. Investors are still waiting for their locked-up funds. Generally I would say Ghanaians like investments but twice beaten forever shy. Thank you.

  Why do contractors leave material on the side of drams they have constructed
  Look at wat the bus stop boys are doing and if govt was to give that on contract u can imagine how much money will have gone in
  We should cancel tax exemptions and I want so called economist to come out with how much tax exemptions we have granted for the past 20 years

  Doctor, truly you are the kind of professionals we need to serve this country. By that I mean someone who sees the various problems surrounding our Country, and who thinks outside the box for creative ways of tackling our problems head on.
  I strongly believe that we can definitely, raise billions of US$ without involving the WBK or the IMF.
  We have what it takes to do this. What I am not sure about is the expertise in negotiating such a deal. My humble viewpoint. Shalom. GOD BLESS our Homeland, Ghana.

  Good idea but the majority of Ghanaians are too illiterate and selfish with their money. Everybody is just looking out for themselves but not for the greater good of the whole.

  Diaspora and infrastructure bonds will add to the debt stock, because a bond is a loan to be paid back. This is a so-called finance expert?

  I believe the true resetting of the county's economy can only happen when our leaders recognize that the common heritage of the Traditional African is a broken pot that cannot be patched but replaced with a new pot. That begins with the needful step of ensuring the welfare and wellbeing of all children born to all citizens of the country by nationalizing all lands for the benefit all children today and the unborn. Because they are not just human capital for our governmental policies but also, the future of the new nation we dare forest in need of. This idea, I submit, humbly, is the only panacea against the canker that now gnaws our vitals called incestuous symbios based on the mother's brother's syndrome wherein children and their mother's are thrown out if their homes by the members of their father 's family in the name of Wofa inheritance when the father passes away. The children do not only become fatherless but also victims of abuse and end up in child slavery. That's the pandemic that I refer to as the broken pot of African traditionalism, the corroboration of which has become the most demeaning trending news in all the polities of the so-called developing nations of Africa. Far away in the Republic of Haiti, among our kith and kin that were snatched away via the transatlantic slave trade, the same ogre raises it's ugly head in the form of the cultural practice called Restavek. The sad thing is, our education in the ivory citadels of learning in Western Academia does not include cultural anthropology as a relevant discipline because for them it was an aberration that has been dead and buried after it made waves, briefly, during n the early 20th century after the First World War that was fought for monopolistic control of the unlimited vast natural and strategic resources of the continent of Africa. The rest is the unsavory backstory of the history of the development on undeveloped nations of Africa by Europeans who have turned the continent of Africa into s vast pool of unlimited resources needed by them, and from which they will draw their quota in perpetuity. That was the hidden agenda of the Dum Diversas decree issued by Pope Nicholas in 1342 that authorized King Henry the Navigator of Portugal to keep black people in perpetual servitude that brought the Portuguese sailors to the shores of El Mina, the Mine on the Pra River of Ghana to begin the writing of the darkest chapter in the annals of human history. The probing question that I am asking my African Intellectual compatriots is this simple, when can we reverse the ogre of White Supremacy based on the notion of the survival of the unfit, by turning it upside down as the Good Book, the Bible genuinely tells us to do in the prophecy of Isaiah 29:9-26?

  What's the impact of that debt on our budget, and hardly any NDC fool ever comment on it. By the way, when is Ghana going to finish paying off that debt and the fool who caused that is telling Ghanaians that Ghana is a crime scene under NPP
  
  Mahama is the most useless man in the history of Ghana.

  The weakness of the cedi stems from the fact that FDI’s are not export oriented from which repayment of principal,interest and dividends can be paid,anything else and the cedi is in trouble,MTN is foreign owned,they earn their income in cedis but needs to transfer these incomes in hard currency.When the telcos were coming in and were being handed the licenses what were our leaders thinking? Kick backs no doubt,those who have been ministers of communication before can tell us,they know themselves.
