Ghana’s economy grew 6.6% in the third quarter of 2021, the statistics service said on Wednesday, marking the fastest growth in the gross domestic product since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Government Statistician, Samuel Kobina Annim at a news conference said “That 6.6% growth rate that we recorded for the third quarter of 2021 is the closest we’ve got to the pre-2020 period when COVID was just about to set in,”

“This growth rate that we recorded is edging us closer to the GDP growth rate that we recorded during the pre-COVID-19 era, keeping in mind that we did record a 9% growth rate in the first quarter of 2019,” he added.
