According to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, his administration is making every effort to address the problems the country is currently facing.
The President urged Ghanaians to stand together and not let the difficulties divide us in a speech he gave at Ho during the celebrations of the country’s 66th Independence Day.
In spite of the numerous obstacles, Akufo-Addo continued, his administration has ensured the supply of necessities to stop the crisis from getting worse.
“We all see the images around the world, here in Ghana, we’ve not had any fuel queues, we’ve not suffered shortages of food and essential items, or the catastrophe of dumsor. Undoubtedly, major global developments have had a negative impact on our domestic economic performance.

“We’ve witnessed historic heights in global inflation and food prices. Rising global interests rate triggered by the tightening of monetary policy of Central banks across several advanced economies to tame rising inflation and energy crisis with crude oil prices reaching unprecedented heights at one point above $120 a barrel.
The strengthening of the United States Dollar against all other currencies, the tightening of global financing conditions especially for emerging markets and developing economies,” President Akufo-Addo said.
“It is these that have brought hardships on our people. The government has deployed a number of fiscal measures to help bring relief to Ghanaians and I’m confident that sooner rather than later we’ll see significant relief and recovery.”
