\u201cFor the first three quarters of 2024, Ghana recorded an impressive average real GDP growth rate of 6.3%, a significant leap from the 2.6% recorded during the same period in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis growth was fueled by quarterly expansions of 4.8% in Q1, 7.0% in Q2, and an outstanding 7.2% in Q3\u2014the highest quarterly GDP growth in the last five years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Ministry of Finance stated that the non-oil sector has been equally robust, posting an average growth rate of 6.2% for the first three quarters of 2024, compared to 2.6% in the same period last year. Quarterly growth figures for the non-oil economy were 4.3% in Q1, 6.6% in Q2, and 7.7% in Q3.<\/p>\n
Given this stellar performance, the Ministry anticipates that Ghana is on track to exceed the recently revised GDP growth projection of 4% for 2024 under the 3rd Review of the IMF-supported Programme.<\/p>\n
