Abstract

Following prolonged economic decline, the economic stabilisation and market liberalisation policies of the 1980s enabled Ghana to raise GDP and living standards. However, improved policies were not sustained in the 1990s, and Ghana has experienced lower economic growth, ‘boom and bust’ economic management, and a ballooning debt burden which has squeezed public expenditure.
