A new Afrobarometre report has revealed that 51 percent of Ghanaians think the economy is being managed well by the Akufo-Addo Administration.
The survey conducted by governance think tank CDD Ghana, also revealed that ghanaians believe government must boost programs and measures to improve the standard of living for the poor and create more jobs for the youth.
The survey occasionally conducted by the think thank often gives cues to Policy makers on issues to focus on. The findings confirm the view of the administration that the economy remains its biggest focus. Government officials during the 2020 budget debates have insisted that the economic gains made will not be compromised as government seeks to bring more growth, jobs and incomes to citizens.
Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta in a recent address to Parliament during the 2020 Budget debate and approval, said from end-2016 and now, the debt-to-GDP ratio has increased from 56.8% to 57.4% (excluding the Financial Sector Bailout).
This means in 3years, government has only marginally increased the debt to GDP by 0.6 percentage points.
He said the Akufo-Addo administration has rather lowered the rate of debt accumulation in the last three years compared to 51.6% in 2014 to 56.8% in 2016; representing an increase of 5.6 percentage points compared to 0.6 percentage points from end 2016 to date.
“This sustainable debt path is partly on the back of our successful fiscal consolidation programme which reduced the fiscal deficit by 2.6 percentage points from 2016 to 2018” he added.
The Finance Minister repeated that the 2020 Budget will focus on consolidating the country’s impressive macroeconomic gains for Growth, Jobs and Prosperity for all Ghanaians.

Bat who are multimedia? they've lost credibility so you ndc rely on them for false hope . You bribed them to say good things about you and bad about the good things of this government so who do you think you deceiving? you is the conflicting report we having now from multimedia? the truth can never be overturned if ndc had even 48% approval rating in the economy in 2016 their votes percentage wouldn't have been that huge! clap for yourself without working on your failures and think you have a chance your bobolibobo will turn another Onaapo defeat ! getting to elections next year with 51 % approval rating is still good ndc has no chance of coming back on what are they coming? you have no legacy and they dint even understand legacy they think building toilet legacy f**ools! how does someone in the Eastern region,Greater Accra region, Ashanti region benefit from a toilet built in Bolgatanga? how do I benefit from an airport built in Wa? and they think they are an alternative? tweeeaaa apuuuuu toooo ! then npp should stay in power forever and ever !
IF EVEN 51% SAID THE GOVERNMENT IS MANAGING THE ECONOMY WELL, THERE IS STILL A BIG DROP OF OVER 3% OF THOSE WHO VOTED FOR THE NPP. THERE IS NO WAY AN NDC PERSON WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THE ECONOMY IS GOOD. SO YOUR (NPP) OPTIMISTIC VOTERS IN 2016 HAVE REDUCED BY OVER 3% TO PESSIMISTIC VOTERS WHICH WILL GO AGAINTS YOU IN 2020 WHICH BY THEN THINGS ARE LIKELY TO BE WORSE THAN THEY ARE NOW DUE TO YOUR MISMANAGEMENT OF THE ECONOMY.
