Politics of Friday, 20 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minority Caucus has expressed concern that Ghana is returning to what it describes as dangerous over-reliance on commodity prices to sustain economic stability. In its latest statement, the Caucus warned that improvements in macroeconomic indicators are being driven largely by global gold prices rather than domestic structural reforms. “Without subjecting recent developments to these three tests, national discourse is reduced to slogans, not governance,” the Minority stated. On the cocoa sector, the Caucus claimed farmers are losing more than GH¢1,000 per bag due to structural changes in trading systems and the removal of stabilisation and hedging buffers. Ending on a cautionary note, the Minority stated that “this is not economic resilience; it is renewed commodity dependence and a return to old structural vulnerabilities”.
