The Akufo-Addo administration had previously touted the macroeconomic fundamentals which have been seen to favourable.

The government leveraged the 2018 credit rating upgrade by the international rating agency, Standard & Poor’s, in this regard.

But this hasn’t stopped the cedi from depreciating against the dollar from GHc 4.9 to over GHc 5.5 since the turn of the year.

In 2018, the cedi depreciated by 8.4 per cent against the dollar.

Minority is addressing the issue and other pertinent fallbacks in Ghana's economy under the ruling Akufo-Addo-led government.
