Dr. Ato Forson’s impressive track record of predicting key economic events in Ghana has solidified his reputation as an economic maestro.
His predictions, which have all come to pass, include the implementation of the Momo tax, also known as the E-levy, Ghana’s decision to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the infamous “hair cut” which the NPP initially denied but eventually implemented.
Furthermore, Dr. Ato Forson correctly predicted that the Sino Hydro deal was not a barter agreement, as claimed by the NPP, but rather a loan. This was later confirmed by the IMF, which classified the deal as a loan. Despite the government’s initial denials, Dr. Ato Forson’s predictions proved accurate, demonstrating his keen understanding of Ghana’s economic landscape.
Additionally, Dr. Ato Forson predicted that Ghana’s debt-to-GDP ratio would exceed 100%, a forecast that has unfortunately come to pass. This impressive track record of accurate predictions underscores Dr. Ato Forson’s expertise in economic matters and reinforces his reputation as a trusted voice on Ghana’s economic issues.
