The President also urged these rich countries to release the $100 billion pledge to help developing countries deal with the impact of climate change. He announced that the government will roll out an initiative of climate intervention that will create more jobs for Ghanaians.
We all know that Ghana’s debt to GDP has exceeded 100 percent. This technically means that Ghana’s debt has exceeded the value of the total output or production of the country such that, all that we get as a country is used to pay the debt.
