BizTech: Services and manufacturing sectors to revive 'ailing' economy - Economist

This comes after the Finance Minister told legislators in Parliament on October 28 that economic growth for Ghana is projected to rebound at 5.7 percent in 2021.

In an interview on GhanaWeb's BizTech, Dr Domfeh explained that to achieve the projections, government must invest heavily towards the manufacturing and services sector.

In furtherance of achieving the growth projections, the Senior Researcher said government must reduce its expenditure and improve its revenue mobilisation efforts and other incomes generation streams.
