They are yet to understand value of currencies

Cedi is the worst performing currency in the world. I am not trying to rub salt on the wound but I think you are being delusional with your outlook of the Ghanaian economy.

Just40:
They make no impact for now because all the floating voters like yourself and I spotted the mess earlier and change course... The little who didn't do earlier, had their eyes open just 2 months after the election so.

Can't wait to have Seth Terkper back in the economic management team

I wonder how people are able to their political parties even in bad times? I mean how? People should learn to vote base on issues and not on political lines

If today Nana Addo decides to give me 100billion Ghana cedis I will take the money and still vote against NPP in 2024

yes.. for the year

And with that, it remains far valuable than the kshs.

My outlook of the Ghanaian economy is base on the facts that exist

you won't get some because you're not a party member and that is assuming he has that money to give.

Only a fool vote on party lines

Never trust Kumasi people
They will make noise, wail and talk about the hardship they are going through but last minute to election they will tell you *NPP is our Party and it's the best party for Ghana* so they will go and vote same old way .

The worst decision a typical Ashanti will take is not to vote at all but if they will vote paa dea they will vote NPP.
That's what my friends always do
They will talk saa but las las they will vote for NPP

Greater Accra region and Central Region will do the magic in 2024

You forgot the Western Region

I wait to see a someone with the political will to lock up Ken Ofori Attah

Nigeria is industrializing:
Nigeria as the largest producer of SheaNuts in the world earned $8.19m last year from the possible $3.8bn Shea trade,due to lack of value addition. This largest Shea butter processing factory in WestAfrica nears completion in Dikko, Gurara LGA of Niger State to change that story.
This is the third shea nut plant being completed in Nigeria in the coming months . It’s 200 tonne per day ( TPD) factory being financed by FedGovt through Nexim Bank in Niger State to increase the earnings of shea nuts from Nigeria, before exports.

Just40:
You forgot the Western Region

No
I don't trust Western region people
There is a sharp division within the people of Western region .

Takoradi, Secondi, Tarkwa, Prestea, Bogoso etc will as usual vote massively for the NPP whereas all the Nzema areas will also vote massively for the NDC.
Sefwi people were the ones giving the NDC the advantage in Western Region but they have their own region so Western Region is now a 50/50 territory for both political parties.
The most hardworking Party will win that region

He of course took a huge cut - possibly anything 10 percent - which is a lot of money - but the SGR has paid off more in its multiplier - and as much as we should backward - we need to move forward. Rent seeking is almost standard in Africa.

Another white elephants. It looks like the rice mill which is now completed. How do you build a rice mill in Southwest and they realised that there is not enough of rice for the new to operate. Look at abuja-kaduna railway service has been suspended for 2 months today the government says they are going to restart it and just one hour ago the rail line was blown up by bomb up again but luckily there was no train on it

I have seen report that SGR has contributed 2-3 percent during and after construction.
If you do the calculation at 115B dollars...1 percent GDP is 1.15B...therefore every year...SGR is contributing about 2-3B dollars annually to our economy.
For a 5B investment - that is great multiplier.
One good example - impact of SGR on coastal tourism - nowadays domestic and foreign tourist find it easy to hope into train and go to Mombasa to spend their weekends at the coast.
Before SGR - you either flew or took an 8-10hrs bus ride or drove - which discouraged lot of people from visiting the coast.
As of now SGR is fully booked until January.They are going to add more coaches.
Those are kind of impacts you cannot measure - on tourism, port, transport, safety, - nobody goes measuring the impact of our road infrastructure...but because it's shiny chinese built railway...people want to have it profitable. Anti-chinese propaganda.
Basic infrastructure dont turn profitable in that sense...they dont have to...gov will use taxes to pay for it...they turn profitable as a multiplier or enabler.
How much do countries invest in road infrastructure annually? Is there anyone going out there measuring when the roads will become profitable??
Heck I doubt there is a railway in the entire planet that is profitable - almost all are subsidized - because they are like roads - they are the enablers/facilitators of the economy.

Is this not what we have been saying for year? Kenya is low hanging fruit. Everybody's bittch.

And I wonder why every major deal in Kenya is always shrouded in secrecy and ambiguity.

Why do you always talk like this? The transport minister in the video said the sgr can not break even in 50years. Well, maybe it wasn't designed to make profit.
