Throughout 2019, the New Patriotic Party (npp) administration pushed for development initiatives and brokered deals with international governments and agencies in the hope of better securing Ghana’s economic footing in the lead-up to the 2020 national elections. Economic growth was robust, particularly in comparison with other ssa nations. But critics instead point to the medium- to long-term nature of these plans, and that the economic growth is not reaching everyday Ghanaians. Diplomatically, the country successfully publicised the Year of Return, boosting tourism and celebrity visits and improving the country’s international reputation as a place to be. More oil was discovered, and oil and cocoa sales helped to boost the economy, though it is unclear whether 2019’s economic growth will continue in 2020.
