I would like to thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend or listen to this lecture on the current state of our economy.
First of all, I would like to assure all Ghanaians that this lecture, as has been the case with all my lectures, will be based on an objective analysis of the data that we have on the economy. Ultimately the data and the facts will speak for themselves.
So what does the data say about the state of our economy after eight years of economic management under the NDC, with President John Mahama in charge as head of the economic management team for four years and as President for another four years.
