The Vice President John Mahama has said Ghana’s economy will hit single digit inflation by September 2010. And the governor of the Bank of Ghana, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur told ghanabusinessnews.com that looking at the trend, the economy was likely to hit single digit much earlier than September.

Mr. Mahama was reported by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) as saying that the drop in inflation and the stability of the national currency, the cedi are due to the “prudent economic management of the government that included 30% cut-backs on government expenditure.”

The Bank of Ghana also predicted a GDP growth of above 20% by 2011 following commercial production of oil in the country by December 2010. Ghana’s GDP growth was projected to be within the levels of 5% to 5.7% in 2010.
