Franklin Cudjoe says 2022 Ghana would crumble in the Iran war

The Middle East flare-up would have wrecked Ghana back in 2022, but barely dents it now.

Past crises would sting way harder

• Franklin Cudjoe points to brutal 2022 conditions.
• Inflation hit fifty-four percent then.
• Lending rates sat at thirty-five percent.
• Cedi got crushed and junk status hit.

The current setup absorbs blows better

• Improved fundamentals shield the economy now.
• No junk rating or total market exile anymore.
• Devastating war fails to knock Ghana flat.
• External shocks land much more softly this time.

A watchful eye stays needed

• Sustained stability demands constant guard.
• Prolonged fighting still threatens recovery.
• Quick peace is wished for hard.
• Vigilance keeps future risks in check.
