The local currency has over the past few days, especially since the start of December 2022, been gaining strength against the major trading currencies particularly, the Dollar.
Former Finance Minister Seth Terkper has noted that the signs are looking good for Ghana’s economy.

He further told the government to accept blame when things are not going well with the economy and not just blame them on global factors.
“When it so going bad it is a global situation but when it is going well it is the government,” he said.
