When times are good...

...that's when you think ahead.

The World Bank estimates that Ghana's economy will grow by 20% on the back of crude oil, gold and cocoa (See here). What are we going to do with it? It would be good if we spent our new riches on platform services such as infrastructure, health and education which will yield sustainable returns in the long term. However, with our penchant for waste and an election around the corner, I have my doubts.

Here's to hoping against hope!
