DR BAWUMIA: _____-----International rating agency Moody’s has not upgraded Ghana’s sovereign credit rating contrary to assertions by the Mahama administration to that effect, the vice-presidential nominee of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said. Speaking at the launch of the NPP’s 2016 manifesto at the International Trade Fair Centre in Accra on Sunday, 9 October, Dr Bawumia said Ghana’s sovereign credit rating got downgraded to (B-) under President Mahama despite having oil revenue at its disposal, from (B ) positive (without oil under the NPP). Moody's Investors Service recently affirmed the Government of Ghana's issuer and senior unsecured rating at B3 and changed the outlook to stable from negative. Dr Bawumia, however, noted that nothing had changed except the revised outlook. He said, in fact, international rating agencies like Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s now have basically the same credit rating for Ghana. “The recent revision of Ghana’s outlook from B- negative to B- stable; that is the equivalent of B3” with the revision of the outlook from negative to stable, “has resulted in a misinterpretation by this NDC government and President Mahama that Ghana’s credit rating has been upgraded.” “This is in fact not the case. Moody’s did not upgrade Ghana. Ghana’s rating under Moody’s is still B-. It is only the outlook that has been revised and that is not equivalent to a change in rating or a rating upgrade. “Sometimes one wonders whether they don’t read or they don’t understand. So, let me give Mr President a free piece of advice: ‘Mr President, please desist from embarrassing yourself by stating that Moody’s has upgraded Ghana.’ Your economic management team should explain that difference to you. “The Mo Ibrahim 2016 report on governance shows that on virtually all key development indicators such as safety, rule of law, human rights, economic opportunities, infrastructure, business environment, human development, health and public management, Ghana is worse off today than it was 10 years ago,” Dr Bawumia said.

Comment to: NPP’s Manhyia North poll was ‘bribery and curses
He said "the NPP had lost its identity and had now become the preserve of the rich, who were actively buying votes to win internal elections.
For that reason, he wondered if the NPP had the moral right to accuse Mr John Mahama of using state resources to pay bribes and buy votes, when the outcome of its own polls was questionable".
Some of us have always known that the NPP strategy of labeling the President as corrupt was a strategy to hide their own massive corruption in their party. if there was ever a doubt, Chairman Wuntomi's aide has erased all that. Now we know NPP better.

If NPP were corrupt ndc is in power what prevented you?you had 15 cases against them and lost all but I swear to GOD you will be jailed after 2017. Nothing is going to change the minds of the people,who cares about an opposition part who are corrupt in their own home but not outside? But ndc is corrupt inside and outside so will go to jail. Look! Ndc are making your party very unattractive with people like you,you are not making any sense in what you saying. Tell the people the social interventions you've brought to help them,tell the people how ndc have used their money,show the people where the eastern corridor is, the people want to know what the over GHC 100 billion loans were used for,don't tell me the 13 SHS community day schools for they were paid by the world bank so where is the money? Sika no wo he? You think we are playing with you? We mean business coz government is business,you don't go there to create family and friends government for the few of you to be rich. NPP is in the opposition and have no business being accountable to no one, since you ndc are not contributors of our finances and we in the diaspora contribute a lot but don't give a dime about that because we know it's not true but something orchestrated by your paid mole Afoko to give disaffection to our party and create a political message for the ndc to use against us but backfired big time. WE SHALL CONTINUE TO OVERCOME,IN GOD WE TRUST. THE BATTLE REMAINS THE LORD'S. LONG LIVE NANA ADDO,LONG LIVE NPP ,LONG LIVE GHANA.

Honestly, this guy is very pompous and a big liar Who should never get closer to the vice presidency. A pathological liar and a thief for that much. Most of us who have voted the npp all along change our minds because of this useless foolish walewale bush cow. He can continue to decieve the Ashanti dog chain selling rats with his lies. It's his right. His foolishness will end less than 65 days from now and he will see his foool stupidity. They will throw him away like a smelling sack. A desperate foolish documents faker. I wonder on which records he wants to be vice president, and then, kill Akufo Addo and take over. A stupid frustrated idiot who is trying to re- demarcate Ghana- Togo border. A useless thief.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

LET'S MAKE THE MOODY RATING CHANGES SIMPLE FOR THE ORDINARY GHANAIAN, LIKE ME TO UNDERSTAND. IS IT NOT SIMPLY THIS: "GHANA'S ECONOMY WAS MOVING UP (B plus rating) WHEN NDC TOOK OVER FROM NPP". IS THAT CORRECT?
"UNDER NDC THE ECONOMY STOPPED MOVING UPWARDS AND STARTED MOVING DOWNWARDS AND HAS BEEN MOVING DOWN SINCE" (B negative rating). IS THIS ALSO CORREC?
TODAY, MOODY IS SAYING, "THE ECONOMY HAS STOPPED MOVING DOWNWARDS - IT IS NO LONGER MOVING DOWNWARDS, AND IT IS NOT MOVING UPWARDS EITHER!. IS THIS ALSO CORRECT? IS THIS NOT STILL THE B negative rating?
OR CONSIDER THIS: "A CAR IS MOVING FORWARD. A NEW DRIVER TAKES OVER AND THE CAR BEGINGS REVERSING. IF THE NEW DRIVER MANAGES TO STOP THE CAR FROM REVERSING, AND THE CAR HAS NOT MOVED FORWARD, MUST THE NEW DRIVER WHO CAUSED THE CAR TO REVERSE TAKE ANY CREDIT?
HAS MOODY INTERNATIONAL STATED THAT GHANA'S ECONOMY IS RATED B plus? PRESIDENT MAHAMA THE HISTORIAN AND DR GATSI THE ECONOMIST SAY "MAHAMA AND HIS TEAM SHOULD CELEBRATE FOR MANAGING TO STOP THE CAR FROM REVERSING" - A SELF-IMPOSED PROBLEM. AND DR BAWUMIA THE ECONOMIST SAYS, "MAHAMA AND TEAM HAVE NOTHING TO REJOICE ABOUT, FOR THE CAR IS STILL NOT MOVING FORWARDS". HAS BAWUMIA INSULTED PRESIDENT MAHAMA OR THE NDC? WHAT DO GHANAIANS EXPECT FROM THE DRIVER OF THE ECONOMIC VEHICLE? MOVING FORWARD BEYOND THE B plus POINT, I SUPPOSE. DR JOHN GATSI, "B negative STABLE AND B plus ARE NOT ALL POSITIVE.

If this guy is a Lecturer at Cape Coast and I was a student I would skip his lectures.
A Lecturer who claims he is an economist and haven't the faintest idea between positive and negative grading with respect to credit ratings and economic outlook, is a Lecturer who should never be in any lecture hall imparting his kind and brand of economics to any student.
Gatsi John, the rating is still B - with stable outlook. We repeat, it is not B+ with a stable outlook. It is rather B- with stable outlook with oil.
Under NPP it was B+ stable without oil.
Please revise your notes accordingly so you can give your students the right information. It's very important you do not become a vehicle for the dessimination of unintelligence and misinformation in thr lecture halls of UCC.

I call them Universities under trees. Why can't people be honest and straightforward? And they are the idiots who like to make noise. Why will this block-headed lecturer put himself in the firing line for NDC? It's all because of chop chop and cheap popularity.
I weep for his students. Someone should warn them before they became insane due to stupid and ignorant misinformation. All these backward "lecturers" are paid with taxpayers money.
Poor Ghana when shall we progress. And he calls himself an economist. Bankyease economist. In a cultured and properly structured society his qualifications will be questioned. The guy doesn't know how to carry out simple research. How sad.

John is a financial analyst and not an economist. He has never done economics before. However, as a lecturer in finance, I expect him to understand the sovereign credit rating. You are upgrade if you move up a grade or down graded if you move down a grade. Each grade has three outlooks: positive, stable and negative. Ghana moved away from negative to stable (not positive as he lied about) and that is a change in outlook and not an upgrade!

Folks Moody's outlook comment of negative to stable on B- or B3 credit rating is not a " Rate upgrade". So Dr. Bawumia is correct. The truth of the matter is the level of interest rate international investors (Banks/others) charge to buy our International Debt. At the moment a B- stable won't move the interest rate needle downward. Mr Tekper should come out and explain things to Ghanaians. All the three major Rating Agencies have Ghana's sovereign Debt at B3. With that rating we are ask to pay 8-12% while Ivory Coast pays 6% or lower. A real rating upgrade will lower our borrowing costs. Dr. Ghasti sounds like a paid town crier.
President Mahama's upgrade excitement is not surprising. When things are bad any little improvement can be propagated as good news. It is an admission that the economy is not doing well, otherwise a" negative to stable " should be treated as a yawn in the scheme of things. All the excitements about rate upgrade looks like the case of an idiotic drunk who is told by his friends that his sobriety is improving and rushes home to tell his wife that he is no more a drunk!

Am really shocked Gatsi claims current Moody's outlook change is an upgrade. This is shocking coming from someone who call himself an economist. I will call this intellectual dishonesty on the part of Gatsi if not part of NDC's propaganda.Is that what he is teaching his students?
The truth is there for everyone to refer on Moody's website.
As a matter of fact, a credit rating is pure different from outlook change. A Positive or Negative rating Outlooks do not imply that a rating change is inevitable and, similarly, ratings with Stable Outlooks can be raised or lowered without a prior revision to the Outlook, if circumstances warrant such an action.

"The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) director for Africa has indicated that the favourable economic growth for the country from next year will be based on sticking to some critical fiscal policies.
Abebe Aemro Selassie noted that “provided that, inflation can be brought down, real interest rates can be lowered, then that should allow some recovery in growth”.
This was in response to a question at the Annual IMF/World Bank meeting in Washington DC on what should be done to ensure the favourable economic growth outlook for Ghana from 2017 is achieved.
He was of the view that, the favourable economic outlook for Ghana is conditional “based on government also continuing with, the fiscal adjustment program”.
Economic growth for Ghana has slowed from 4 percent in 2015 to about 2.5 percent for the second quarter of 2016 according to the Ghana Statistical Service."
IS THIS STATISTICS ABOVE AN INDICATION OF AN UPGRADE, MR. ECONOMIST?

Moody's also said the US Economy was sound before the great crash of 2008. If one delves into this false upgrade of the Ghanaian economy, one will notice there is something to be gained by Moody's or their affiliates,

Never in my entire life have i met a dishonest Muslim like Dr. Bawumia. And those who are more enlightened than him will just follow him like day old chicks following their mother. What a shame!!!!!!!!
Nobody will give you a minister so stop fooling yourself and continue to pollute your students even ordinary man on the street knows that economy is in a deplorable state.
John is a financial analyst and not an economist. He has never done economics before. However, as a lecturer in finance, I expect him to understand the sovereign credit rating. You are upgrade if you move up a grade or down g ...

Excellent! The best explanation so far.
Gatsi has a fake PhD from the Swiss Management School that awards fake degrees.
Folks Moody's outlook comment of negative to stable on B- or B3 credit rating is not a " Rate upgrade". So Dr. Bawumia is correct. The truth of the matter is the level of interest rate international investors (Banks/others) c ...

I will like to add to Kwaku`s insightful comment. My contribution is this if you medical doctor tells you your condition is stable it does not mean you have been cured.
Allotey, thanks for the analogy. May I ask, if your doctor tells you, your condition has changed from 'Critical' to 'Critical but Stable' will you be happier or not?
All these back and forth must be laid AT the doorsteps of the media! We aren't serious! How difficult is it to verify this from Moody's?...mtcheewwww
Bawumia is right,,check this is link

Am really shocked Gatsi claims current Moody's outlook change is an upgrade. This is shocking coming from someone who call himself an economist. I will call this intellectual dishonesty on the part of Gatsi if not part of NDC ...

someone should stop foolish lecturer from lecturing before he poison his students with bad economy grades. when big brains are talking idiots like him must shut up
Bawumia's shame. So this so-called Npp brain 'hub' doesn't know that when negative becomes positive; it's an upgrade. Sad indeed. Ghanaians must be weary of npp.
it's childish to believe that nonsense by that good for nothing lecturer who is poisoning his students.
There is a difference with outlook rating and the rating itself. Ghana is still rated B3 but the outlook was revised from negative to stable. That fake economist called Gatsi needs to go and learn. No wonder he has a question ...

Only few lecturers at this university can be said to be good the rest are just rubbish lecturers chopping students money and other things
If one looks at the conditions and suffering by Ghanaians is this so called upgrade or change of outlook worth celebrating? No wonder this government has been labeled as mediocrity at all times.
Are you sure fake SMC Dr?
Is this not the Dr who got his PhD from an Unaccredited University and was exposed with the IGP and Gifty Anti? If so how can he challenge Dr Bawummia? People are not serious in this country. He is seeking attention, he shoul ...

If our son is last in class 6 and he is demoted because of poor performance to class 4 where he comes 10th we should congratulate ourselves?
Oh NDC!

it was expected. this man with his background. not surprising. keep tickling yourself and laugh and continue behaving like ostriches
John Gatsi should sometimes hid his political colours when analysing issues of national importance if not he will soon lose his respect as an economics
But ur so called Bawumia analyses things without political colours abiii.... Aaaaah u guys are very intolerant of divergent views
