Ghana ranked the 7th African country where private wealth is most distributed

Ghana, out of the ten African countries, has been ranked the seventh [7th] African country where private wealth is most distributed

The country’s ranking is according to the 2022 Africa Wealth Report. 

Ghana, per the report, has a wealth per capita of $1,890 and the total private wealth is registered $59 billion.

Per the report, the private sector currently controls about $2.1 trillion worth of Africa’s total wealth.

The report focuses on how Africa’s $2.1 trillion private sector wealth is actually distributed among ordinary Africans.

As you may already know, GDP per capita is all about national income divided by the total population. Investopedia defines it as “a measure of the amount of money earned per person in a nation or geographic region,” and says it can be “used to determine the average per-person income for an area and to evaluate the standard of living and quality of life of the population.”

Wealth per capita on the other hand, though not different from GDP per capita, focuses more on how a country’s private sector wealth is distributed. This is especially so since the African Wealth Report specifically excludes government funds from its ranking.
