Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE. Dr Bawumia pls aren't you embarrassed by revelations at the PAC on revelations of crime committed by the very people u and Akuffo Addo appointed to run affairs of this country? What record are u going to defend. I have lost respect for you. A muslim without intergrity.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.

Gyimii saaaa....instead of talking sense about what is going on in Ghana which is damaging the reputation of the country, look at this idiot called Nkrumah comparing what is going on in other countries to Ghana. So because of that,it's okay to allow our ports to be gateway to drugs and narcotics? What a shallow minded idiot who is an NDC sympathizer. This stupid government and Pepenii Mahama is eroding the good name Ghana has built over the years. How come other country's port authorities are able to detect these drugs on their shores coming from Ghana, but we can't detect that? That means some government officials are the ones doing this business. But because they are NDC guys, the government turns a blind eye on it. This is a shame, listening to the numerous instances set by the Honorable member of Parliament. The culprits should be apprehended and face the law, as this is given a bad name and reputation to the country.

It is unfortunate that we continue to politicise the fight against drugs. This is not a Party A versus Party B issue. Drug trafficking and organised criminal activity threaten our national security, public health, and international reputation, and they should be addressed as matters of national interest rather than partisan debate.

Let us focus on the real challenges. We need to strengthen the infrastructure and operational systems at our ports because existing gaps create opportunities for compromise and exploitation. Having studied port operations closely, I know that there are areas within the port ecosystem that the Narcotics Control Commission does not have direct access to. We should not ignore these realities.

For instance, an exporter can load goods into a container at a private location before the container is transported to the port for inspection and eventual export. This raises important questions about oversight and traceability that deserve serious attention. We all know that these operational vulnerabilities exist, so let us not pretend otherwise.

Rather than trivialising such a serious issue through partisan politics, we should be having honest conversations about strengthening controls, improving coordination among state agencies, and addressing the structural weaknesses that make illicit trafficking possible in the first place.

I am deeply disappointed when public officials choose to frame such a critical national issue along party lines instead of contributing to meaningful and evidence-based solutions. The fight against drugs should unite us, not divide us.
