Currency Analyst, Sammy Ampah, has cautioned that Ghana’s economy would face severe challenges if government fails to invest in real sectors.

According to him, although Ghana’s Composite Index of Economic Activity recorded an annual growth of 10.7 per cent in November 2017 compared to that of November 2016, government needs to do more to propel growth in the economy.

Speaking in an interview with Class Business, Mr Ampah was of the view that if government focused more on the real sectors of the economy, it will spur economic growth and create more jobs in the country.

He said: “Government needs to pay some little attention to the real sector to spur up growth. That is where there might also be opportunities to create employment opportunities in the country. If you do not do that and you do not concentrate in the real sector, you might have some few challenges. What government may have achieved in the macro sector might not necessarily reflect in the micro sector and there will be serious challenges with governance.”
