This, he said is due to restrictions on activities in the economy following the coronavirus pandemic.

“Specifically, from a current prices point of view, the GDP estimates for the second quarter of 2020 was 85, 758.1 million Ghana cedis relative to 84, 312.0 million Ghana Cedis for the second quarter of 2019.
