Hanke, an applied economics professor at Johns Hopkins University in the United States says Ghana&#8217;s problem is unending. The economist who has been studying Ghana&#8217;s economic situation for some time now has revealed that the country&#8217;s problems are becoming more severe.<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet on Friday, August 5, the economic expert stated that the country&#8217;s inflation rate is increasing at a rate of 56 per cent per year, according to his measure. He also lamented the Marburg virus outbreak in Ghana, making the situation dire for the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhana&#8217;s inflation rate, by my measure, roars at 56%\/yr. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, the Marburg virus has hit, taking the life of one child this week. It all confirms my School Boys Theory of History: It&#8217;s just one damn thing after another,\u201d his tweet reads.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar tweet, Steve Hanke wrote, \u201cIn #Ghana, the Marburg virus outbreak has claimed its third victim. If that&#8217;s not bad enough, GHA&#8217;s inflation continues to soar. Today, I accurately measure inflation in Ghana at a sky-high 57.5%\/ yr, ~1.9x the bogus official rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghana&#8217;s economic situation has been performing badly in recent years, as market prices continue to rise on a daily basis. Following the severe hardships endured by its citizens, the government has requested IMF balance-of-payments assistance (IMF) to shore up the sinking economy. According to a recent Bloomberg survey, Ghana is the second country with a ballooning debt risk, after El Salvador.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
