JoyBusiness Roundtable Discussion on gov't's economic narratives against reality comes off today

JoyBusiness Roundtable Discussion on gov't's economic narratives against reality will come off today at 9:00 a.m. in the JoyNews studio. The programme is themed "Mahama at 16 Months: Do Economic Narratives Match Real-Sector Outcomes?". The programme will bring together policymakers, economists, and private sector leaders to assess whether Ghana's reported economic progress is reflected in the wider economy.

The panel includes Frederick Amissah (Technical Advisor, Ministry of Finance), Mark Badu-Aboagye (CEO, Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry), and economist Prof. Agyapomaa Gyeke-Dako. Others are Joseph Paddy (Vice President, Ghana Union of Traders Association), Yaw Appiah Lartey (Partner, Financial Advisory, Deloitte Ghana), and Joe Jackson (CEO, Dalex Finance). The discussion will examine Ghana's economic performance over the past 16 months, with particular focus on whether macroeconomic gains are translating into real-economy outcomes. Key issues on the table include the cost of doing business, inflation pressures, currency stability, access to credit, and the performance of the productive sectors, such as agriculture, industry, and services.

The programme will be broadcast live on JoyNews TV and Joy FM. Audiences are invited to tune in for a detailed, evidence-driven examination of the state of the economy.
