This is according to the Presidential nominee for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo Addo.
He was speaking at the campaign launch of the parliamentary nominee for the Weija-Gbawe constituency, Tina Mensah in Accra, Nana Addo said Moody’s did not consider the actual challenges Ghanaians are facing hence the need to disregard such ratings.

Since 2015, Moody’s has rated the Ghanaian economy at B3/ negative.
The latest decision to rate the economy stable, Moody’s said in a statement, was informed by three key drivers.
The first is the country’s debt reduction and reforms. The second is a reduction in government liquidity risk and the third is improved the balance of payment dynamics and development in the country’s oil and gas sector.
