Fundamentals of the economy: The key constituents of an economy generally comprise price stability (inflation, exchange rate, and interest rates), economic growth (GDP), employment, and international reserves.
Moreover, some economists take into account fiscal and monetary fundamentals, including fiscal deficits, primary balance, debt threshold, tax environment, money supply, and financial sector regulatory efficiency. Is it necessary to achieve all indicators, or can we be satisfied with substantial improvements?
In Ghana’s developing economy, while not all indicators have been met, some have recorded favorable improvements. Securing favorable economic fundamentals will necessitate time, with both short-term and long-term objectives.
Have there been improvements last year and this year? Are we correct in asserting that the fundamentals are improving, or should we assert something else is occurring? Regardless of the outcome, an economy celebrates when its fundamental indicators are improving, so we should all strive to maintain the improvement trajectory.
