Economist backs calls for national dialogue to bring economy back on track

An Economist at the University of Ghana Business School, Professor Godfred Bokpin, has backed calls for a national dialogue to bring the economy back on track.

He said there is a need for consensus building, to bring on board alternative ideas from civil Society, academia among others to find solution to the economy.

Speaking on GBC’s Current Affairs programme ‘Behind the News’, Professor Bokpin said government must do this as soon as possible so that it can feed into its revision of IMF programmes.
