| Summary: | In September 2017, Ghana's economy
expanded for the fifth successive quarter by 9.3 percent
compared to just 4.3 percent in September 2016. This
reflects continued high levels of growth in the industry
sector, driven by mining and petroleum. Oil production rose
by 16.6 percent compared with a contraction of 11.2 percent
for the similar period of 2016, as production increased in
all existing oil fields and some new production came online.
For instance, the Jubilee Fields increased production with
the resolution of technical difficulties that arose in March
2016; and new production came online in the Offshore Cape
Three Points (OCTP) Fields. |
