Ghana has been described as the Star in the International Monetary Fund's 2019 Economic Growth Forecast.
A report by Bloomberg said Ghana will be the fastest-growing economy in the world this year, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The lender’s growth forecast of 8.8 percent for the producer of cocoa, gold and oil dwarfs the 6.6 percent median in a Bloomberg survey.
The IMF’s projection in its latest World Economic Outlook published Tuesday is “way too generous,” Neville Mandimika, an analyst at FirstRand Group Ltd.’s Rand Merchant Bank, said on Twitter.

Praises from the IMF? Remember they are business people and corporatists who will squeeze you at the least opportunity. I stick to the NDC time when we all criticised them for pandering to the IMF to make money out of us. They have their interest which will never serve our purposes. They will praise you if they know they will get something out of you. For them to praise you is just a bait. In any case they have got us where they want us to be anyway. They have tied the noose round our necks by the loans which is caricatured as grants to us and they know the projects they have tied it to will make the loan non working anyway. They will snap the noose very soon and we will be all over the place. Running around perpetually. Lets cut our coats according to the material we have. Control tax evasion and avoidance. Reducing waste by about 20% only, procurement breaches, bloated public sector. Look at the resources which we can semi produce easily, like salt. This will facilitate our development.
I'm waiting for a lecture on this one too from Adongo, Ato Forson, Fiifi Kwettey and john mahama himself the ndc best economic team to come and refute with facts and figures.You think governance is kids play. How can you learn from experienced politicians with this your arrogance! Governance is humility to learn from the experienced ones and reading from world known best politicians. Obama became president of the Free World because of his humility and readiness to learn more ! Obama went to Lincoln library to read a lot about the man who was one of the best presidents of the free world long before becoming president of the Free world but Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and Obama a Democrat! Experienced politicians don't take opponents as enemies but partners with different ideology. It is only in Ghana that inexperienced and hungry people are giving power and they take every opposing view as an enemy who must be killed hence ndc Chairman and his gang planning to kidnap and kill Ghanaians, and trying to burn state installations just because of power ! if not ndc then who? no civilized person in this age will ever take politics as do or die.
