  What Govt can do is to identify strategic industries in terms of jobs or innovation and subside certain aspects of those industries or alternatively provide some tax reliefs for them

  Garbrah, it seems you are the only NDC member who cares for the plight of borrowers and savers. Behind closed doors, the shareholders, some of them your party members, do not give a damn what happens to the economy so far as they get high dividends from the banks and the financial institutions. You said you started last year trying to get BOG to put a cap on interest rate. There is no way the guys will listen to you though it is sensible thing to do. The advanced economies such as US, Germany,and UK have fixed their interest rates for all the financial institutions. But look at what is happening in Ghana ? Interest rate is skyrocketing making one wonder the sort of Ghana's economy being managed by BOG.

  Hon. Spio Garbrah BOG will not listen to you bcos they are in bed with Papa Kwesi Nduom and some managers of some big banks all in an attempt to collapse these micro finance institutions.but this action would hunt NDC one day. the Prez must be smart .go to the areas where these institutions were and find out from them how they hv benefited from their engagements with them.Uncles Ekow thank and tell the Prez "to scare a bird is not the best way to catch it"

  A good suggestion!!! But does this idea fit into Free Market Economy, Forces of Supply and Demand and many of our beloved economic theories?

  Dr inflation is at 17.5% and prime rate is 25%. How low can we bring interest rates to encourage borrowing for investment and to make it sustainable when these rates remain the same? Borrowers are bound to default or to fail
