a beachside resort in lifted a travel bans are tunisia for its citizens just last year. and we've now gone to albert. he's the resident representative for ghana got the pronunciation there right on the line for us from a crowd tell us first of all the government day has met most targets and its program with the international monetary fund if it did mall could that growth rate be even higher than eight point eight percent it. the programmed twenty shifts in there of the previous administration. main goal to restore market rate could make stuff billets we believed at micro you could make stuff bts a precondition to it couldn't be croats and respect it was. cheap that the men might we couldn't begin to caterers point to dean better direction

inflation was reduced and he's now around nine point four percent in the single digit fiscal deficit was also reduced from around fifteen percent i mean around ten percent to now treat point eight percent and those are conditions out there. to drink investment to god and have they couldn't be cruel and grow faster so you basically want to see something stable and sustainable i guess what's what's gonna going to have to do to make its growth sustainable. what's important is to continue to. try. to diversify the economy because at the moment most of the exports from ghana must be commodities coal coal called or you. will be important to to

ensure and to buy new factoring agriculture so. different bases for economy croaks the issue is for exporting or producing only commodities at the old throat cannot be sustained right. do you generate depends on the price of these commodities if it goes up you grow faster if she goes down you don't call shots right so you need to have other products that you export in order to diversify away from commodities and tell me a little bit more about about cocoa because it as a commodity is exported in huge amounts but only as a rule commodity it gets processed overseas and that's where all the money is made in the processing of cocoa why isn't gonna allow to do that. disallows been. a concern for wired and i think that. tells of

creating the factory tool process small coco you know candy you need to out there and your own man that loads for an investor is to call right i think that the conditions are favorable and the out between the past and the adult thinking now twelve more of the processing taking place and getting up more of the value addition as you mentioned take place in ghana so hopefully in the future you should see a bit more value at the show and local content into the stride we had to show made in ghana one more quick question john is not the only african nation focus to put in stellar growth rates this year is the balance shifting from asia to africa. it's hard to see. the recovery in africa in train. you need to point to the fact that a lot of african countries see exporters and commodity dependent. or and

some other commodities and the price of these commodities have been quite a few in the past few years so the recovery is taking more time than expected but i think the. you know the prospect is not really uniform so you have some countries that are doing better like in some other countries in asia and you have countries for whom it's taking a bit more time so on balance you can't necessarily make that argument that cruelty is shifting to asia so you need to look country by country ok. mama from the international monetary fund thank you very much for being on the show pleasure thank you for having me. an engineering firm in tokyo is testing whether eight k. cameras can replace visual safety checks of key infrastructure the ultra high
