Macroeconomic Instability, Weak Structural Transformation Threaten Ghana’s 2057 Vision, Says AfDB

Ghana’s ambitions to evolve into an industrialized, inclusive, and resilient economy by 2057 are under threat, according to the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) 2024 Country Focus Report.

Despite a track record of impressive growth and political stability, the report, titled “Driving Ghana’s Transformation: The Reform of the Global Architecture,” outlines significant challenges that could hinder these objectives.

Weak Structural Transformation and Macroeconomic Instability

The AfDB report highlights weak structural transformation and macroeconomic instability as Ghana’s primary development challenges. These issues manifest through high vulnerability to external shocks, elevated youth unemployment, and persistent inequalities.

Contributing factors include low macroeconomic resilience, a fragile financial sector that limits private sector participation, low agricultural productivity, weak value chain and industrial development, insufficient job creation, and a mismatch in human capital skills.

Inadequate infrastructure, particularly in the transport sector, and high susceptibility to climate change and commodity price fluctuations further compound these challenges.

Strategic Reforms for Economic Stability

To tackle these issues, the AfDB recommends a comprehensive reform agenda aimed at bolstering macroeconomic stability and supporting structural transformation.

The report advises Ghana to implement monetary, budgetary, and exchange rate policies to control inflation, stabilize exchange rates, reduce public deficits through the rationalization of non-productive expenditure, mobilize internal resources, and stimulate inclusive and sustainable growth.

Enhancing Public Sector and Financial Markets

The AfDB stresses the need for improved coordination and sequencing of public sector development initiatives, aligned with Ghana’s fiscal constraints.

Key recommendations include fast-tracking debt restructuring, expanding concessional finance, and deepening financial markets to enhance access to affordable credit.

Strengthening stakeholder engagement and coordination of development assistance is essential to maximize synergies and impact.

Reforming International Financial Architecture

The report underscores the necessity for reforms to the international financial architecture to complement internal measures and bolster Ghana’s capacity to meet inclusive sustainable development and structural transformation objectives.

Proposed international reforms include revising the country risk assessment and rating system for African countries to improve access to international financial markets at affordable costs, overhauling the global tax architecture to curb illicit financial flows and tax evasion, and supporting G20 initiatives to enhance the capacity of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to meet African countries’ aspirations.

Outlook and Strategic Path Forward

Despite these formidable challenges, the AfDB report highlights Ghana’s potential to overcome these hurdles through strategic reforms both domestically and internationally.

By addressing structural weaknesses and enhancing macroeconomic stability, Ghana can pave the way for sustained, inclusive growth and realize its long-term development aspirations.
