Ghana\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is most likely to hit a double-digit in the next couple of years if the private sector is given the needed financial support.<\/p>\n
According to the Alliance for Development and Industrialization (ADI), the country\u2018s GDP is poised to record double digits, if industries are given long-term affordable credit facilities, which would enable them to expand their productions for export.<\/p>\n
The latest figures released by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) indicated that the Ghanaian economy expanded by 4.8 percent in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
However, the manufacturing sector recorded a GDP growth rate of 8.8% by the second quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means that the government\u2019s industrial policy has begun yielding the optimum results and if the needed support is given to the private sector, the country would soon achieve a double-digit GDP, a statement issued in Accra and signed by Richard Danso, President of ADI noted.<\/p>\n
According to him, Ghana is most likely to recoup about $3 billion through import substitution in the wake of the rapid depreciation of the country\u2019s currency \u2013 the Ghana cedi.<\/p>\n
The cedi started its free fall from the beginning of this year which has almost depleted the country\u2019s Gross International Reserves.<\/p>\n
But, according to the Alliance for Development and Industrialisation, the depreciation of the cedi has positioned the country to be self-dependent and a good destination for exports.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we need to do now as a country is to position ourselves and produce more to support the country and the continent as a whole\u201d, it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that importation has become unattractive, the financial institution should begin to look into supporting import substitution\u201d, it said.<\/p>\n
This, according to the ADI, would help support the country\u2019s balance of payment as well as stabilise the cedi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
