The idiocy of the ndc govt really never ceases to amaze us . we never thought they were intrinsically born stupid . why are they crying now that nobody worth their salt wants to touch them with a 10 foot pole or even go near them and assist them with ideas . First all having ideas doesn't mean you have the personnel or cadres to execute them , if you did you would already have the ideas and solutions . Stealing ideas can never help as always there is a hidden substance that is not readily visible . Third why shop around for ideas when we all already know the sustainable healthy projects are already in the system but for the corrupt pepeni , ayigbe and Ga idiots these things are being sabotaged in by the bureaucracy and same ministers of state , give us a break with this colossally stupid form and stop the bullshit . establish the rule of law and justice for all and these things will give relief to the economy and our people

Isn't these idiots claiming the country is for them? So where are they now? They don't have to go and contribute, they can go and seat down and fold their arms without offering any constructive idea to solve the current economic downturn in the country. Ghanaians will never forget this cowardly actions of Akan's npp party in 2016, Ghanaians will eventually retain the great NDC party in to power in 2016, for they have the country and the people at hearts.

The Kuffuor led Maladroit government promised the world of a new Ghana cedi will gain value when pegged with the dollar, what we have now is not what was promised.Nothing was put in place by this illiterate Bawumia and his Kookoase economic gurus to sustain the parity of the cedi with other major currency.

When you do monetization, it means you have deliberately pegged your currency to the major ones with the hope that it's value will cope or improve.

Having this, we expected the BOP to improve through prudent economic policies but Bawumia's Dagati economic policies coupled with that of Koookoase bush meat economics only saw more importation of rice from india when Ghana could have invested in agriculture to produce own rice.And so, Bawumia should not think Ghanaians are illiterate as he is.

At this stage of our economic development, the only way is to borrow but invest the borrowing wisely into productive activities such as what the current government is doing.

That said, Bawumia should stop his Dagati economics as these days even the Kookoase opposition npp MP's are well awake.

Seriously Agbesie , why do you expose your ignorance on the web? We buy Chinese goods because they are cheap? right so if the Cedi is cheap we will export more. Dummy

Stop comparing Ghana to China. How big is the size of Ghana's export market? Ghana is an import driven economy. Depreciation of the cedi causes more harm than good, and that is the fact!

Though very sound argument, the foundation is not strong enough to take off. What can we produce now, that could be produced cheaper than the Chinese alternative. I cannot think of any. Serious countries take advantage of a weaker currency but we not one of them. Oh yes, salt! Have we taken advantage of that? No! This product could become the core to our economic development. This is so basic but they prefer guinea fowls and its associated mismanagement. Politics and corrupt leaders would not help our situation. Thanks for you input.

A Country where even common Toothpick is imported how can falling of the Cedi be a blessing?
And besides, who said this Government is prepared to change anything,they benefit from the status quo,this is how they make their money.The excuse that,there is no money in the system,so they go out there and borrow in the name of Ghana,but any loan they take,the bulk goes into individual pockets of the NDC.
Why do you think Mahama said they will continue borrowing,or why do you think the BOG offered Bonds for 25,48% for three years?Is this not madness?
And people are wondering why NPP didn`t attend the socalled Economy Forum,after all NDC says"yetie obiaa"

Fact of the matter is that some of our political parties in opposition are to come power by the end justify the mean ways. they realize that what can pave the way for them to come to power is when the economy is bad, so in theory they will say yes to go economic policies but in reality they would sabotage the policy.

Africans admire book long people which gets us no where but produces well spoken and empty headed people.
Listen to the common sense from this street hustler made good.
Book long people bend to any demand from Europeans and Americans without thinking of their size of the cake.
Ghana needs real hustlers to lead us in brokering deals that amazingly sway fortune and fame to our Ghana.Odike is on the right path though typical brainwashed Ghanaians will miss this advice.
All the politicians in Npp and Ndc don't have a clue what this swag is about.
Just plenty degrees and masters and caum laude none sense. Signing EPA in the twenty first century.How brainless is that for a whole leader.
Ah Mahama and Npp paaaa!

I Wonder Why When Issues Of Intellectual Subjective Ideals Like Economics Arise, It Almost Seems Liike There Are No People With Such Intellects In Our Republic Ghana, I Say This As An Observer Of World Economic As Related To Valuation And Devaluation Of Various National Currencies Around The World, The Benefits And The Downsides ( Cause And Effects ) Economic Giants Like China Many At Times Intentionally Devalues Or Turns A Blind Eye Let It's Currency Falls So As To Grab A Larger World Market,So At The Devaluation Of Our Cedi If Realised By Our Governance And Ceased As An Opportunity Could Boost Foreign Investment And Tourism Which As It Stands Is Needed Badly In The Sector Of Micro Socio-Economic Development Of Equal Opportunity In Ghana, So, I And Many Ghanians Are Expecting Some Young Modest Patriotic Ghanaian Economic Guru To Merge Out From The Blue And Save The Situation Of Market-Inversement Economic Illiteracy In The Country At Moment,,,,,,,
