Any particular good reason why MorningStar is unfair to Ghana?

Go and read the disclaimer beside it and you'll have your answer

vaxx:
the black market trader are even afraid to sell the dollar in their hands , they are only buying at 11 cedis. They think hoarding on to the dollar for long is good since it will soon rise again.many of them too have fun into lost since they buy the dollar initially for 13 cedis so selling it far below that price is just impossible.

The bureaus are out of Cedis as no one wants to hold dollars at this point.

Those who are still holding will make more losses by January

rvp2018:
Google uses the likes of Bloomerg which track exchange rate of many countries.
In any case why are jittery - if cedis fall is sustainable - then it will firm up.

This is Bloomberg yesterday

rvp2018:
Not so fast - you've recovered back to Sept 2022 - but this could be either leading or lagging indicator.

I guess google changes your money for you

Keep crying

vaxx:
The regulatory rules against the black market is on track.

The cedis has completely regain all its 53 percent lost . And the Inflation is cracking down naturally. Some month ago, the cedis was the weakest currency in the world. It is now the highest performing currency now.

New BOG target for end of year is 5.6.

Something extremely strange is happening

Shma2022:
Stop forcing issues. Accept the ratio of 1 physician to 10,000 hobbits. Kenya by 2018 was doing 1:5000.

World bank is telling you the same.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.MED.PHYS.ZS?locations=ZG


You can fact-check with Kenyan data.

zombie ... Stop making noise

5700 doctor gives Ghana 1:5300

rvp2018:
Worry about Ghana 3200 doctors in country of 32 million people ; 1 doctor for 10,000 people.

by the WHO


Keep crying

Obaaderemi2:

let's see if he will admit that half of Kenya doctors are quark

68816419:
Meaning Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union are not been licensed ?

leave him in his madness

rvp2018:
KNBS writes to KMPDC for the numbers every quarter.

yet knbs managed to publish false figures despite KMPDC figures being available to all to see

rvp2018:
And kenya gov got the data in economic survey from Ghana?

Unless you want to tell the whole world that your country has 5,000(fake) quark doctors practicing and killing people

rvp2018:
English comprehension.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council - this gov body that regulate, license and register doctors.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union - labour union- those are the ones with circa 8K doctors - mostly working for public sector.

madness is doing you

The source of the numbers is from Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dental Council as the total number of Registered and practicing doctors in Kenya .... Everyone can see it on this flyer, just accept that your govt was lying to you And move on.

rvp2018:
There is difference btw union and the council.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council
They are the ones that provide KNBS data on registered doctors and nurses.

Madness is doing you

You think you can just get up and practice medicine er?

You have to write the board licensing exam and become a member of the council.

rvp2018:
Those numbers are from KMPDU - Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union - not every doctor belong to their union.

You're mad

You can't practice medicine in Kenya if you're not licensed by them, you'll be arrested just like everywhere else.


Pls never compare your fraudulent stat body to that of Ghana

Everyone here already know that the Kenyan govt always present false data.

rvp2018:
This from kenya economic survey - kenya has nearly 15k registered doctors and dentist. It need to double it's effort - and has to build more medical schools. We imported Cuban doctors. We need to import more and more as we train more.
https://www.knbs.or.ke/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-Economic-Survey1.pdf

as Usual, typical kenyan government number paddling to present false numbers to fool Kenyans

Also, Kenya only produce 600 doctors per year

rvp2018:
Last I checked a year or two kenya had 13,000 doctors including specialist.
Kenya graduate 1,000 doctors annually.
Kenya has long way to get to where it need - which would be about 35,000 doctors.

As for Ghana it's any number btw 3,000-5000 - also a long way to go.

check again and stop paddling numbers ... What I quoted is from your medical and dental council registered doctors numbers.

Ghana register and practicing doctors numbers was 5,700 last year according to the Global health workforce statistics of WHO.

rvp2018:
Last I checked the numbers of medical doctors
South Africa - about 45k
Nigeria - 30K
Kenya -15k
Ghana - 5k.
Those are doctors currently working in those countries.
You'll find many Ghanian doctors outside Ghana - Nigeria is probaly worse - of the 75K Nigeria doctors - only 30K are left in Nigeria.

As for largest hospital in Africa in Ghana - a little country - you should scratch yourselves every time you make such claims.

Actually, you may not even have 5k doctors in Ghana. Look like only about 3000 are left in Ghana - for a 30 million population.

So basically, your healthcare is run by nurses - and outcome is misadgnonsis.

If you had a mental hospital - Just 30 would already be confined there.

To get to South Africa level - you should have half their numbers - more than 20,000 medical doctors & specialist.

But you're busy churning too many nurses than you need and few doctors - and hardly keeping them because their probably earn peanuts.

https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Many-doctors-are-leaving-Ghana-due-to-poor-working-conditions-GMA-1466197

there are 7,300 doctors in Kenya giving a doctor to patient ratio of 7,600: 1

There are 5,700 doctors in Ghana giving a doctor to patient ratio of 5,300 :1


Carry your lunatic rants elsewhere

QuietMynd:
Stop trying to be smart by half.
And don't bring student into the conversation

who do you think we are talking about?
The nurses and teachers we are talking about are students who just graduated.


And you were the one who brought students on scholarship abroad into it

jl115:
yeah I've been trying to teach him for years

ignorantly stubborn

rvp2018:
Pay debt first. That is 1st thing everyone does.That first charge on your account. The rest are details. Cant pay debt. Youre broke and bankrupt.

We are already doing that Kenya is the one failing to pay it debt because it doesn't know if it should prioritize wages of debt servicing.

That's why Kenya is broke

rvp2018:
YOU CANNOT AFFORD ANYTHING NOW - YOURE BANKRUPT

Screams of a guy from a bankrupt country who thinks everyone must be dragged to his country desperate level.

Bankrupt countries don't make health care complete free for their pensioners.
Neither do run a health insurance for all that covers a wider range of things.




Kenya can't afford these things else in your current bankrupt state where you can't pay your debt, your country will handed over to your masters ( creditors)
No wonder everything project wise has stagnated in Kenya

QuietMynd:
Nigeria govt do sponsor citizen abroad back in the days, but they don't request for any cut from their pay check.
The citizen won't give them shit since they know themselves they owe the govt nada

does the Nigerian govt bond students it sponsor abroad? The answer is no
The Ghanaian govt also sponsor students abroad and takes nothing from them because it doesn't bond them.

The bond is like this, "I am taking you to school and I will subsidize the education for you plus pay you monthly allowances till you complete. When you complete, the state will employ you and for 5 years you'll not go back to school or go and serve anywhere else untill you finished this service to your country".

To break this bond comes with a fine

jl115:
. Real gdp is nominal divided by a gdp deflator... Its simple... Just accept what it is.

And yes for the thousands time I know what gdp ppp is, you don't have to continually copy and past what it is.

Leave that guy... He knows nothing about economics

rvp2018:
Yes nurses can be bonded...or just simply convert all the free tuition/money into higher education loans.
US graduate with gazillion of education loans
Ghana has to stop bankrupting the country with unneccesary expenses.
Convert all these things into loans - then whenever wherever you end up - you pay gov.

something is madly wrong with you... Even a kid can reason properly than you.

When did subsides become free tuition?

Ghana can afford it and that is why Ghana finance it.

IMF has not touched that for the last 50 years that it has been in place and won't touch it now. The last Ghanaian govt intermittent runned a budget surplus.

Kenya can't afford such hence IMF will simply force you to remove such kid of spending.

When was the last time the Kenyan govt even had a budget surplus ?

rvp2018:
Can only happen in communist dictatorship like Cuba. It can't happen elsewhere. Ghana will benefit from FOREX. It a stretch to imagine gov following these people abroad to get piece of their salaries - even if they go in gov-to-gov arrangement. Ghana can ask for other benefits from such gov like road money grants

not even the US or UK does that.

You'll have to pay the money back if you decide not to serve

QuietMynd:
Govt should look for other source of income rather than getting cut from citizen salaries abroad, it doesn't speak well for the govt.
All this money we talking about are peanuts to any serious govt

It's by law which govt can't break ... No country does that.
If your country sponsor your education and bond you to a certain duty, to break that bond comes with financial commitment.

jl115:
then you measure it using that base price.... Till then there is no evidence that Ghana has overtaken Kenya wrt GDP nominal

you still don't get it.

By the time all this appreciation is done, you'll see that Ghana GDP for 2023 will be calculated at the old base price to be far above Kenya's.

If they're going to use a much current base price as they have now, it will be even significantly higher

rvp2018:
The day you educate me on anything; the sun will rise from the west.
I have worked with US gov to assist countries including Ghana conduct census and national accounts (GDP)
My female colleaque was in Ghana - in 2007 or earlier - while I was in Rwanda.
Assisting poor countries like Ghana and such to build their statistical capacity.
I was personally helping many countries install, configure and set US survey tool called CSPRO.
She was mostly doing microdata - another tool by worldbank for statistical services like Ghana
You know nothing.

Another mad rant again...
You yourself, what you've written above, is it coherent?

rvp2018:
Ignorance is a bliss.
It is rebasing. Not rebasement
Yes, census data is key.
This has nothing to do with LSMS - living standard measurement studies.
GDP rebasing is understanding the structure of the economy, the quantities and the value (prices)
Census is not just counting people; it also counting economic activities;
And it's basis of GDP calculation.

Someone should freely educate this lunatic for me..

He thinks he get his GDP, inflation figures and other economic data from his population census instead of his statistical service carrying out a market research.

Re-basement/ rebasing is the same thing ... Now take dumb ass and go and learn

I leave this job to the South Africans

vaxx:
It will make goods produce here extremely expensive right ? But So will it make import extremely attractive .

yes.. it will also affect govt revenue negatively

vaxx:
He said the cedi will stabilise by the end of the year & he has delivered.

The UK has sacked and reshuffled so many ministers and leaders and now they are in recession.

Should we still sack him?

Yes he has to be sacked and prosecuted together with BOG governor. The entire economic management team has to be disbanded

rvp2018:
Stop smoking illegal stuff.
