Resumen
Descripción
Ghana’s development path, although
registering past successes, faces a series of current and
future challenges. Ghana succeeded inhalving its poverty
rate between 1991 and 2016, from 87 percent (US$3.65 per day
in 2017 purchasing power parity [PPP]) to about 50 percent
of the population, outpacing progress across Sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA), along with improvements in health and
education indicators. However, recent global crises have
pushed poverty upward, as the country faces multiple
challenges. Ghana needs to provide more and better jobs and
foster inclusive productivity growth, especially through
investments in human capital. At the same time, the
country’s growth path is increasingly vulnerable to climate
change and climate-related shocks. Tackling these challenges
will require fiscal policy to promote macroeconomic
stability, create the right incentives, and generate the
necessary public investments.
