Economic challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

Figures from the Ghana Statistical Service indicate that Ghana’s inflation soared to a record 37.2% in September from 33.9% in August, with food as a major driver.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the country’s currency has assumed a free fall against the dollar with a dollar selling at around 14 cedis, a situation that has sparked public hue and cry, especially among traders.<\/p>\n

Ghana is hoping to receive as much as $3 billion under an International Monetary Fund (IMF) extended credit facility program to bolster its finances and regain access to global capital markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
