Former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwesi Botchwey says Ghana’s vision of attaining a per capita income of $1,000 by 2010 is overly ambitious. Economic Planning and Regional Integration Minister, Paa Kwesi Ndoum, recently announced that Ghana is set to achieve a per capita income of $1,000 by 2010. The current per capita income is estimated at $370. But, Dr. Kwesi Botchwey, who resigned as Finance Minister in the Rawlings administration in 1996, told Joy News that he considers the vision as overly ambitious, given the current economic situation coupled with the low investments level in the country.
