COMMENTARY

Dylila (hawaii) 25th March 2007	This is a very organized site and has a lot of information. However, I think it is lacking a graph. I think it is also better to see it visually and see how much debt Ghana has to owe from time to time.
SOLOMON ADIKA (KNUST, GHANA) 25th September 2007	Please, I would like to know the detailed economic statistics of Ghana, concerning; population ,GDP,per capita income, inflation, standard of living, as well as anything about the economy of Ghana.
