Dalex Finance — financial services organization whose CEO comments on Ghana's macroeconomic policy, currency stability, and employment challenges.
Joe Jackson, CEO of Dalex Finance, has argued that Ghana's cedi volatility stems from structural leakages in the extractive sector—through service imports, profit repatriation, and capital flight—rather than weak export performance, citing a US$5.1 billion trade surplus in 2024 offset by nearly US$8 billion in outflows. He has also defended the Bank of Ghana's reported losses as necessary to stabilise the economy and curb inflation, and criticised government job-creation efforts as falling short of national needs despite macroeconomic progress.
Experts discussed recent audit findings on Bank of Ghana losses on Joy FM's Super Morning Show, with Joe Jackson defending the central bank's economic interventions, while Kojo Oppong Nkrumah criticised the bank's financial position and called for recapitalisation, and Atta Issah argued the bank's actions aligned with standard global practices.
