The economy of Ghana advanced by 3.3% from a year earlier in the first quarter of 2022, slowing from a 7% expansion in the previous period. It marks the weakest pace of growth since the last quarter of 2020, as activity slowed markedly in the industrial sector (1.8% vs 4.8% in Q4) due to a decline in the production of oil and gas. Slower growth was also recorded in services (3.7% vs 8.1%) and agriculture (5.6% vs 8.2%). The nation is currently battling a set of challenges including runaway inflation, a depreciating local currency and high public debt. source: Ghana Statistical Service
