The Fund Manager also pointed out that, the country’s economy was predicted to develop less in 2024, despite increased in economic activity brought on by the manufacturing sector’s rebound and planned rate reduction in monetary policy.

If the government continued to pay off its debts, both old and new bond market should gradually rebound along with Ghana’s economy.

He said the fund was committed to optimising returns and making sure that investors had long term financial security

Most Reverend Professor Daniel Yinkah Sarfo, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Fund, said they expected a substantial rise in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), estimated to reach 3.9 per cent.

Additionally, the International Monitory Fund’s (IMF) next round of funding was anticipated to be crucial in helping to stabilise the economy.

It will bring macro-economic stability back and create a framework for faster and more inclusive economic growth.

The fund’s impressive performance, he added, was expected to grow in 2024, but in moderation as mixed performance of the equity market might affect the rate of growth.

Rev. Yinkah Sarfo, assured shareholders of earning positive returns on their investments by the end of the year 2024.

He encouraged shareholders to buy more shares on a regular basis to enjoy the long-term benefits of the fund.
