President Akufo-Addo <\/strong><\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo has called for further drop in the interest rate in the country.<\/p>\n

The move, he said, is key in making Ghanaian businesses competitive to their counterparts in the West African sub-region.<\/p>\n

Mr. Akufo-AddoAddo is addressing journalists from the Jubilee House.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Ghana maintained its benchmark interest rate steady at 16% during its November meeting, against market expectations of a 25 bps cut. <\/p>\n

The decision was as a result of proposal to rise the budget deficit to 4.7% in 2020 from 4.5% in 2019 which would threaten economic growth and inflation outlook.<\/p>\n

But President Akufo-Addo insist the rate has to come down further.<\/p>\n
