Professor Kwesi Botchwey, a former Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, believes Ghana’s current economy resembles that of the early 1980s.
During that time, the country faced some of its most difficult circumstances, including a near-famine.
Prof Botchwey said at the launch of ‘The Children of House No. D13, South Suntreso Kumasi,’ a book co-authored by the Ahwois, that “sadly, we don’t appear to have learned our lessons” and that “we are now perilously close to the edge of the precipice, where we were in the early 1980s with our economy saddled with debts.”
