GHANA DEBT AND ITS IMPACT ON OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

Image
  By the year 2000, the government of Ghana had borrowed so much that the country was in  debt distress . It then subscribed to the  Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative  of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Consequently, much of the country’s external debt of over US$4 billion was written off by creditors. By the time the initiative ended in 2006, Ghana’s total public debt stock was US$780 million (25% of GDP). The debt stock has since risen by 7000% to  $54 billion, which is 78% of GDP . The current debt to GDP ratio is 78%, while the average for developing countries is 60%. Economist, Adu Owusu Sarkodie, explains how this happened, why it’s a problem and what can be done.
