Yes, another truth about the ECOMINY is out from the experts. Surely, these loud mouths will come out to lie about it. The recycled brain-dead crooked liars will destroy our dear country. When George stole the election results in his brother's state, Florida, the repercussion is being felt all over the world after 8 years of his presidency. NDC will wreck the nation for us. They must be stopped sooner than later. Who knows what they will do next? Offer the country for sale and run off to enjoy the loot. Thank you.

Building an economy is like pregnancy which does not develop in downward trends but upwards and for this reason the one who refuses to accept the negative trends of ghanas economy and find sustainable solution to it would live to suffer the consequences in the near future.Fiifi kwetey and his henchmen would answer for their careless handling of Ghanas economy in the near future.

Come you fools and the markets will strip you naked. Take Fiifi and nii Moi along when you go and borrow. And you will see what the market will do to you. I thought Mahama was much smarter than this.

Size of US debt is not the question. It is whether US is waiting and hoping like Ghana does - that Europe and the USA will send Ghana money to pay its debt.
The US has never borrowed and relied on grants from foreign countries to pay that debt.
The US has a Fed that can stimulate its economy with over $750 billion to create jobs and reduce unemployment. Ghana's central bank could only put forth $20 million dollars to rescue the cedi. You mean just $20 million? That is money for one small currency trader in New York or London!

This is the assessment from Fitch:
Ghana's fiscal position has worsened further over the past six months. Revenue underperformance and intractable expenditure on wages and interest led to a budget deficit of 10.8% of GDP in 2013, wider than the government's target of 9%.
This, combined with a sharp 20% depreciation of the exchange rate, caused government debt to rise to 61.8% of GDP in 2013 from 48.9% in 2012
