The Trade and Industry Ministry is optimistic industries will experience growth once the power crisis (dumsor) is curtailed. Deputy Minister Kweku Ricketts-Hagan has said since Industry grew by 9.1 per cent in 2015, up from 6.6 percent in 2013 despite the current power crisis, there will be better industrial growth once the power crisis is solved. “In the industrial sector, we actually are the highest performer if you look at it. Power Minister Dr Kwabena Donkor has promised to resign if he is unable to solve the crisis by the end of this year. There may be some small amount of industries moving out for whatever reason [but] every indication in the numbers we have seen shows that the industrial sector has started gaining traction,” he maintained.
