The Ghanaian Times is convinced that prudent management of the economy can push the Standard & Poor’s rating a notch higher for it to expand to enable it to address the needs of the people. The paper says the economy has been doing well over the years, albeit with some challenges. However, there are many areas that need serious attention. It says to build an industrialised, inclusive, and resilient economy, manufacturing must be revived by tackling the core constraints, including a persistently unstable macroeconomic environment, underdeveloped and weak financial markets that put long-term capital beyond the reach of most business operators.

Daily Graphic welcomes the visit by the President of Burkina Faso, Christian Kabore, to Ghana and his subsequent meeting with President Akufo-Addo aimed at strengthening and deepening the ties of friendship and co-operation. The paper nevertheless expresses concern about the annual opening of the Bagre Dam in Burkina Faso which destroys lives, farmlands, livestock and properties in Ghana. The paper believes that some of these unfortunate developments which have festered for a while require urgent attention to give true meaning to the good neighbourliness that exists between the two nations.

The Today Newspaper says the decking of the Kpalba Bridge over the Oti River has been inundated by floodwaters due to weeks of heavy rains. It therefore appeals to government to construct a new metal bridge to replace the old ones as a long term measure. The paper suggests that some boats and life jackets be made available to the affected communities to aid in their movement till those bridges are fixed.
