The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has welcomed a report by the Economists Intelligence Unit (EIU), predicting victory for the party in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

The EIU in its country report said it will be difficult for the opposition NDC under former President John Dramani Mahama to portray itself as the better custodian of Ghana\u2019s economy, especially as the country\u2019s growth figures look fairly strong.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, the Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said the report was a true reflection of the reality on the ground.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Akufo-Addo administration views these reports first as feedback which enables us evaluate our progress of work in creating prosperity and equal opportunities for all as stated in our 2016 manifesto. Government assures all that it remains committed to fulfilling its campaign promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotably, rebuilding a strong economy, developing and executing strong flagship programmes and transforming various aspects of our national lives. For us, this report is a reflection of the situation on the ground and confirms a good number of Ghanaians already see and feel. Government will continue to study these reports and review our policies when necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
