The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has asserted that cost of living has risen all over the globe and is not unique to Ghana.
Dr Bawumia, speaking during the commissioning of a 56.4-kilometre road project at Kadjebi in the Oti Region, said the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Russia/Ukraine has led to general hardship being felt across the globe.
“The cost of living has gone up across the world. Everywhere where is hot, town is hot, and it is not only Ghana. Same applies to the UK, America, Japan and Germany,” the Vice President asserted.
He added that the recent comments by the IMF boss that Ghana’s economic woes are not due to government policies but external factors attest to this fact.
Bawumia added that amidst all these external pressures, government is doing all they can to keep the economy going.
“So, you see that we in the midst of this pandemic are doing everything to keep the economy going.” he added.
