The banking sector asset growth of 14.9% is driven by their investment in government bills. In an inclusive economy, banks' asset growth is driven by loans to individuals and businesses. We seeing GDP growth, but the growth is not inclusive. Ref: mid year budget review

The system works for very few. You must be in a certain ring to say Ghana is doing well. Social media political army do your job for GHS 800 a month. Your boss is eating the bread and giving you crumbs .They are hoarding the dollars and giving you Cedi without future. Think!!

I have been listening to the two leaders of both political parties on their campaign trail. One thing comes out clear. While one is promising what is within reach, the other is on phantom promises. Ghana's problem is not on the moon. It's jobs for the youth and food to eat.

Yet to see an economic parameter called apology. I suffered a haircut under the DDEP and I prefer a prolonged economic restoration to an apology. Economic restoration would rather grow my investment than an apology. Anyway, democracy builds and destroys economies for all.

Ghanaians are the most low maintenance anywhere in the world. They are the least demanding of politicians. Always thinking politicians are doing them a favour, especially those in the villages 🤷‍♀️ Views such as “Nana Addo has given us Free SHS” is the most silliest I can ever

Do not jubilate on the 20.9% inflation drop. It's only a numerical drop and just a signal of economic recovery. Price increases in our markets look different. Don't trust any of our macroeconomic indicators until we start a full scale service of our external debt.

If your economy has grown from $56 billion to $76billion ($20 billion growth) and your debt grows from $34 billion to $54 billion (also $20 billion growth), you've not done anything. Unless the economic growth comes with sustainable assets that can improve debt service capacity.

There is no fiscal room to provide tax incentives to increase production and employment. Remember the current tax handles have been mortgaged in the IMF agreement. We promised to increase tax from 14% to 18% of GDP. Unless the expenditure cuts can save us enough to fill in. Doubt

We cannot celebrate the “jobs abroad programme”. It cannot be a panacea for unemployment in this country. We are going to help grow the economies of other countries. Have we given up on our effort to create decent and sustainable jobs for our youth?

How do you preach digitization and promise labor exports at the same time? International trade is leveraging digitization to export labor services rather than labor itself. In fact, digitization has made export volumes of services exceed global goods exports for the past 20yrs.

Very soon there will be a national budget line for water importation. If not, the finance minister will go to parliament and seek approval for millions of dollars on water security. USD 500 million for food security, where is the planting for food and jobs version I&II money?

For a central bank governor to be named among politicians buying undervalued state lands once again compromises the independence of the bank. Central bank governors' independence has a strong correlation with inflation. I am not surprised inflation climbed as high as 54.1%.

Both parties have in their manifestos tax cuts and levy removals. Government needs money. So what the government of the day needs to do is to determine the optimum level of tax cuts that will make the citizens comfortable and at the same time not burden the public purse. Finish

We changed government to come and solve our problems, so why do you keep on referring to the past? The past is gone. We can only pick lessons out of it and shape the future. While the Free SHS policy is building the future, Galamsey is destroying it. Sums up to nothing.

The Prof (@stigue2001) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Galamsey on our water bodies, a sign of disrespect for our traditions, broken bonds and relationships. The relationship our forefathers had with rivers and forests has been broken by our generation. A failed generation who are out there to kill the next generation.
