A statement made by the World Bank Country Director, Mr. Pierre Laporte, that Ghana and its people hold the key to resolving the country’s economic problems has received support from Mr. Joe Jackson, a financial analyst with Dalex Finance.
Mr. Jackson wrote in a tweet, “The World Bank Director has told the plain truth. Ghanaians and our leadership are responsible for finding a solution to the country’s economic dilemma. Take tough decisions to fix Ghana, which is broken.
Mr. Pierre Laporte stated that although the World Bank is prepared to assist Ghana in addressing these issues, the nation and its people must handle the issues on their own.
- World Bank supports Ghana in improving primary health care, others
- Ghana receives GH¢42M from World Bank to pay LEAP arrears to beneficiaries
“Today, we bring approximately $500 million annually in support of various sectors including roads, energy, water, health, education and skills, governance, name it….to assist to improve the business environment. But in the end we are only part of the solution”, Mr. Laporte disclosed at the re-launch of World Bank/ IMF Parliamentary Network.
“The solution really lies with Ghana, Ghana, and its people. We will be there with whatever we can do to support the new thinking to contribute to the development and to provide financing”, he added.
