Therefore Ghana will be faced with severe debt sustainability risk with the rising debt levels. With the slow real GDP growth, low revenues and high interest rates, we cannot…

This summit took into account the Brundtland approach and added onto it. Though it is an artfully political compromise of the three pillars, its critics could say that the outlined goals are too optimistic in believing environmental and economic growth can happen at the same time. Market mechanisms can indeed be efficient, but it does not ensure a fair distribution of wealth and income relative to present and future need nor can it ensure that the economy takes into account the carrying capacity…

Upon a closer examination, one will notice the decreasing average annual growth rate for every following year.

After examining the contribution of exports to growth since the early 2000’s, Akyüz (2011) points out that approximately one-third of Chinese growth before the global financial crisis of 2007 was a result of exports.

With the sharp slowdown of China’s economic growth rate in the year of 2008, Guo and…
