Ghana’s economy grew by 5.7 per cent in 2024, but Q4 growth slowed to 3.6 per cent, down from 7.2 per cent in the third quarter.
The slowdown in Q4 was largely driven by weaker growth in the Industry sector, which increased by just 0.2 per cent.
A significant factor was the sharp contraction in mining and quarrying, which accounted for about 43 per cent of the Industry sector’s total value.
