Don't waste your time


Paa K, have you ever heard of a fallacy called "argumentum ad ignorantiam?" if you haven't, then don't make such stupid comparisons as "Look even when the growth has been cut down, a 6.3% growth in their time would have been unprecedented." I am sure you don't believe in change. Idiot.

You don't read, idiot! The IMF projected 8% but has been reviewing the rate downward due to what is happening in the global economy. Even more vibrant industrialised economies are not immune from these external shocks. Could Nana Addo or any other

Don't waste your time Paa, these NDC goons are impregnable to sense and trying to educate them on anything is a waste of time. Look even when the growth has been cut down, a 6.3% growth in their time would have been unprecedented. They are so de

Re: You don't read, idiot! Paa, its not about name callings and insults but being objective in your submission. IMF never said anywhere Ghana's economy will grow at 8% what they said was 6.8% growth is expected this year 2018 hence the 8% is a figment

STILL BETTER THAN THE WORLD AVERAGE There was actually a downward review for the whole world, particularly Europe. We're still doing better than most parts of the world but we need to do more.

Re: STILL BETTER THAN THE WORLD AVERAGE Darko,you are interesting. The way you said "Mahama b3ba" as if Mahama is an accomplished economic guru. But he is anything but. This is the man who shrunk a healthy GDP growth rate of over 10% to a sickly kwashorkor rate of

Odikro you are wrong! Yes but the difference is they have the basics for their citizens in place unlike us. If we have good growth but people on the streets aren’t benefitting what’s the point?

What's New? Just what the IMF and economists do. They project and predict figures, like Ghanaian Pastors and Prophets, only to give you some jumbled talk tomorrow why the figures didn't add up. I can tell them why. Corruption and mismana

BUBBLE IS UNRAVELING FUELED BY TRADE WAR The bubble created after the 2008 depression is worse than before 2008. It's about to pop, and that, coupled with the trade war between the biggest economy by PPP and the US, has worsened it. It's a contagion and it's depre

Imf cuts gdp Its very important to keep the discussion at literate levels in order to be sincere to society. No pranks. From the body of the news item itself, low inflation rate was equated to low prices which is not exactly correct. Low

Re: IMF cuts Ghana’s GDP growth to 6.3% Now its clear that under IMF tutelage the ndc created the opportunities to grow the economy in 2017 through very pragmatic,austere policies & investments than the npp has done In fact the 8.3% growth touted by the npp in 201
