Going Ghana
10/21/2015 |
To glimpse the pain developing nations are suffering due to the Chinese economic slowdown, look no further than Ghana. Their biggest exports, gold, oil and cocoa are all down. As a result, they are running a huge budget deficit of 7.5% of GDP, their currency has fallen 14.5%, boosting inflation which has caused the central bank to raise interest rates to 25%, further slowing growth! A tourism boom is unlikely.
