According to Mr Terkper, the country’s economy could be better because it has all the raw materials that could position it to compete with other economies across the world. “We are doing well or had been doing well but we should watch it, but my response is that we could be doing better,” he said in an interview with GhanaWeb’s Amos Ekow Coffie on BizTech.

Then around 2008 and 2009, the programme for export started under president Kufour, with the discovery going earlier to President Rawlings and GNPC activities, to use Oil to resolve certain problems we had known about the economy. We are borrowing to pay past debt and that is a challenge we need to be careful of,” he added.
