Finance lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof Godfred Bokpin
With Ghana's debt servicing absorbing more than 45% of tax revenue and crowding out priority spending, whilst the country is saddled with deteriorating infrastructure, unbalanced growth and negative out gap, the need to re-examine the country's debt dynamics has become imperatively necessary.
IMANI Ghana is, therefore, hosting a lecture which seeks to highlight how the just ended IMF program failed to deliver on debt sustainability for Ghana.
The lecture will also provide a historical perspective and the debt dynamics, how the rebasing of the economy in 2009 and the recent one provided false hope and perhaps a trap that points to the next IMF supported programme as the 2020 elections approach with all its ramification.
Watch the lecture by Professor Godfred Bokpin below.
