According to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the economy was in dire need of help when he took office on January 7, 2017, and its pace of growth at the time was the lowest in more than 20 years.
But, he said, by dint of hard work, prudence and creativity, the government has managed to turn things around, creating an economy which, for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019, the years before the onset of COVID-19, was amongst the fastest growing economies not only in Africa, but also in the world, recording an annual Gross Domestic Growth (GDP) growth rate of seven percent (7%).
