One Year Performance of ALW Share Price vs 91-Day T/Bill (ending Aug 09)
ECONOMICS AND POLITICS: GHANA’S GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS REPORT Ghana is ranked 114th this year, down 12 ranks since last year. Ghana continues to display excellent public institutions and governance indicators, for which it has often been commended by international leaders in recent years, having notably seen a peaceful transition of political power through presidential elections. The weakening of Ghana’s performance is attributable to a deterioration of the country’s macroeconomic stability since last year. Overall, Ghana’s institutions are ranked 68th, with reasonable public trust of politicians (ranked 62nd), relative judicial independence (69th), and corruption levels lower than in most other countries of the region (71st for ethics and corruption). Some aspects of the country’s infrastructure are also good by regional standards, particularly roads and ports, which are ranked 76th and 69th, respectively. Financial markets are also relatively sophisticated (ranked 59th). On the other hand, education levels continue to lag behind international standards at all levels, goods and labor markets continue to be characterized by inefficiencies, and the country is not harnessing new technologies for productivity enhancements (ICT adoption rates are very low). Finally, the country is characterized by high and increasing macroeconomic instability, having gone from 121st on this pillar last year to a very low 129th this year. The government is running high and increasing fiscal deficits, debt levels are high, inflation is well into the double digits, and high interest rate spreads point to inefficiencies in the financial system.
