  Rubbish talk, rubbish economist, export what, how, be realistic and practical, you cannot export what you didn't have yesterday, today. The Cedi is appreciating due to good policy interventions, Goldbod, foreign currencies transferred into the country, fiscal discipline, etc. The issue with useless Akufo Addo's government is that he was doing the wrong things and he refused to listen, this government is changing all his silly, corrupt and dangerous policies.
