Ghana’s nominal GDP nears GHS 600bn in value

Data provided by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) indicates that Ghana’s nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has swelled by some GHS 132.8bn in value.

Per the Central Bank’s October 2022 Summary of Economic and Financial Data, nominal GDP for this year stands at GHS 591.9bn inching closer to the GHS 600bn value mark.

This is up from the GHS 459.1bn recorded as the country’s nominal GDP for last year – 2021.

The jump in the country’s nominal GDP can be attributed to the government’s projected 5.8% GDP growth for 2022 which has however, been revised downwards to 3.7% given the current macroeconomic challenges facing the country.

Regarding the country’s public debt-to-GDP ratio, an expansion in the economy results in the narrowing of the debt-to-GDP ratio.

This is despite the increment in the value of the country’s public debt from GHS 393.4bn in June to GHS 402bn in July.

External and domestic debt as at end-July 2022 according to the Central Bank stood at GHS 212.1bn and GHS 190.3bn respectively – cumulatively, that amounts to GHS 402bn ($53.2bn).
