Macroeconomic Forecast Ghana

April 2005 | Macroeconomic Forecasts

We expect recent high levels of economic expansion to be maintained, with 5.1% real GDP growth forecast for 2005 and 2006 as economic fundamentals gradually strengthen. This forecast assumes prices of Ghana's main exports, gold and cocoa, will remain buoyant over the forecast period, with key upside risks to prices coming from a possible security deterioration in top cocoa producer Côte d'Ivoire
