Ghana Economic Outlook
December 16, 2021
Following swifter GDP growth in Q2, available data for the third quarter points to robust activity. Although economic activity moderated slightly in August–September, it still posted double-digit growth in annual terms, while the private sector PMI remained in expansionary territory through Q3. Turning to the current quarter, available data continues to paint a positive picture: Domestic activity was likely propped up by more upbeat consumer and business confidence in October, while the private sector PMI averaged higher in October–November compared to Q3. Lastly, after detecting the country’s first cases of the new Omicron variant, authorities have tightened restrictions for all travelers: Starting from 12 December, all foreign visitors must be fully vaccinated in order to enter the country, while Ghanaians arriving at or departing from an airport will be required to receive a jab.Ghana Economic Growth
In 2022, the economy is set to grow at faster pace as activity continues to return to pre-pandemic levels. Robust growth across all sectors should drive momentum. Meanwhile, lower oil production next year, the emergence of new Covid-19 variants and uncertainty regarding the development of the pandemic weigh on the outlook. FocusEconomics panelists project the economy to expand 5.3% in 2022, which is unchanged from last month’s forecast, and 5.1% in 2023.Ghana Economy Data
