PM Express host, Evans Mensah, and his panellists on Tuesday evening discussed the several downgrades that have hit Ghana’s credit rating from a B with a negative outlook from Fitch to a C with a stable outlook from Moody’s.

It also complained about the “omission” of key material information such as the 2022 Budget expenditure control measures – 2022 upfront fiscal adjustments.
