Abstract

Following the preceding two chapters which focussed on economic policy and reform and on the growth and structure of the economy, this chapter considers core macroeconomic issues in the Ghanaian economy, with particular attention to the period after April 1983 when the first Economic Recovery Programme (ERP) was launched. This period has seen a remarkable recovery of the economy and the establishment of what appears to be sustained economic growth at levels historically high (for both Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa).

The IMF website (www.​imf.​org) is a source for a very large number of documents which delineate the development of the relationship between the Ghana Government and the IFIs—a remarkable degree of transparency which is accompanied by the reminder (by the IMF) that the documentation is the property of the Ghana Government (as is always the case for ‘country studies’ undertaken by the IFIs).
