Mr. Mahama was the President of Ghana between 2012 and 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte said President-elect Mahama will be inheriting an economy challenged by high inflation, currency weakness and debt concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His economic policies will however likely focus on but not be limited to fiscal discipline and strategic investments in infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is the possibility that he would renegotiate the terms of the ongoing International Monetary Fund bailout of US$3billion\u201d, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Downside Risks to Economic Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte also enumerated some downside risks to the projected economic growth for Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include commodity price volatility and adverse weather conditions,\u00a0 local exchange rate shocks and volatility, delays in private debt restructuring leading to failure to meet IMF conditions, poor infrastructure \u00a0and sporadic social unrest due to public discontent with poor living standards.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana is slowly retracing its steps back to a path of macroeconomic stability, as the government\u2019s fiscal consolidation and debt restructuring activities are bearing fruit.
