Abstract

(English) This report presents a structural analysis of the Ghanaian economy, an outlook of its recent evolution and growth estimations for 2001 and 2002. Ghana holds a special position in West Africa, because of its strong economic growth during the last twenty years and its flexible exchange rate regime. The economic crisis in 2000 led the new elected government to adopt restrictive budgetary and monetary policies, allowing for a necessary adjustment and increasing inequalities. Growth estimations confirm the slowdown for 2001 and 2002 but raise the question of the credibility of Ghana macroeconomic statistics. _________________________________ (français) Ce rapport présente une analyse structurelle de l’économie ghanéenne, dresse un bilan de son évolution récente et propose des estimations de la croissance économique pour 2001 et 2002. Le Ghana occupe une position particulière en Afrique de l’Ouest, d’une part en raison de la forte croissance économique qu’il a connu dans les vingt dernières années, et d’autre part en raison des spécificités de sa politique économique liées au régime de change flexible. La crise économique subie par le pays en 2000 a conduit le nouveau gouvernement à adopter une politique budgétaire et monétaire restrictive qui a permis un ajustement nécessaire, mais a aussi probablement accru les inégalités. Les estimations et prévisions de croissance réalisées confirment le ralentissement économique en 2001 et 2002 mais posent la question de la fiabilité des statistiques macroéconomiques ghanéennes.
