rvp2018:it is right there in the publication Which came from the oversight committee on the sector. which concrete roads are expensive to construct, they last 10 times longer than asphalt and bitumen roads. An example is the Accra Tema motorway, 60 years on and the roads is highly motorable. Because of the extra 5 million excess metric tonnes in production, cement manufacturers are calling on the government to expedite it plans of building more concrete roads. One road up for major upgrade is the Accra Tema motorway (a concrete road). Britain and the US did this same thing in the early 1900s Britain had a surplus cement production during those days, so they changed their building code to allow for architectures with huge columns and strengthening members. 1 Like 1 Share |

rvp2018:actually on the contrary, the Ghanaian middle class is large enough and they play a major role as the driving force of the Ghanaian economy. The contribution is what is leading the huge real estate boom in Ghana. Since you want to quote natural resources, whiles natural resources drive the majority of Ghana export the Ghanaian economy is highly powered by the services sector which has a 60% lead. |

rvp2018:Yes, comparing it to western counterpart, Ghana is a poor country no doubt. but on an Africa strength, Ghana is incomparable to kenya not even Ethiopia? what do you earn in revenue? that matter most and that can tell what you can do with your money. despite your highly ballon former sector coupled with 47 million people, you earn far less than what Ghana earn. The amount you earn in revenue couple with population determine your economy size. bar south africa and Nigeria. no country earn more in revenue than Ghana in sub Saharan Africa. 3 Likes 1 Share |

What do you mean revenues? You mean gov revenues? Or you mean trade - export revenues. Kenya doesn't have natural resources like you - in most typical African countries - our remittance is also very low - now approaching 3b dollars - our trade deficit is whopping 11B dollars (we export about 6B dollars and import 18-20B dollars worth of goods). Our gov revenues are approaching 20-21B dollars. In short - Ghana is typical Africa country dependant on minerals - Kenya outside South africa has the MOST SOPHISTICATED DOMESTIC ECONOMY that makes nonsense of 11B trade deficit.If you look at say our retail & wholesaling - formal trade it inching towards 40%. Kenya is 2nd to south africa in luxury goods market. For example - six carre four stores in Nairobi - closed nearly 150M dollars in total sales https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/corporate/companies/Carrefour-s-Kenya-sales-hit-Sh14bn/4003102-5057928-p3eh5iz/index.html In short - Ghana is still largely primitive informal economy held together by minning, oil & remittance - while Kenya is well diversified sophisticated market - that is secondly only to south africa - and quickly formalizing. vaxx2: 2 Likes |

We cannot see that real estate boom in pictures or videos - maybe your cities are just sprawling into huge unplanned slumspolis? Be careful you don't become another Nigeria or Gabon. Gabon officially has Africa highest GDP per capita I think - but the country is a shit.hole. Just30: 3 Likes |

rvp2018:the middle class is manifesting itself on the outskirt of town They want nothing to do with city centres Those countries you are mentioning high control land use thereby concentrating their population in the centre of towns. Today, Accra has so many commercial areas because of the spread out. just by look, you'll think Stockholm is an empty city with no grid A offices but only turns out to have a different dev't path 2 Likes 1 Share |

How we are surviving on such a deficit only God knows.We are talking about a country that is 87 % arid and semi arid sitting in a volatile neighborhood and being the largest non-resource based economy in this continent. This is despite our leadership doing little! Our power is in the private sector,if only our political class knew of this and gave everything at it! rvp2018: 2 Likes |

rvp2018:no informal economy is a clear manifestation of a real shadow economy and globally, that economy is worth more than the known economy. Who goes to a hotel to dine? that is not the purpose of a hotel. whiles people build wealth, they send their kids to better schools, buy luxury, go on vacations, shops and drive cars 1 Like 1 Share |
