Ghanaian Economist Warns of Cedi's Freefall: 'I Don't See Development, Only Decline' - UTV Ghana Interview Ghana's economic struggles are highlighted in a recent interview with Chris Dugan on UTV Ghana's morning show. Dugan, a prominent economist, expressed serious concerns about the rapidly declining value of the Ghanaian cedi. He stated, "I don’t see any development; all I observe is the decline in the value of the cedi." This statement reflects the anxieties of many Ghanaians facing rising costs and reduced purchasing power. Dugan's comments underscore the challenges facing ordinary citizens. The decreasing value of the cedi directly impacts the cost of essential goods, making it harder for families to afford basic necessities. The interview also touched upon the apparent lack of significant economic development projects to counterbalance the currency devaluation. While specific policy failures weren't named, the overall message conveys a sense of urgency and concern regarding the nation's economic trajectory. The interview concludes with a call for solutions and a renewed focus on economic growth to alleviate the financial burden on the Ghanaian people.
