| dc.description.abstract | Ghana’s public sector is fairly large and diverse. Of the different components of the public sector (central government, public enterprises and local authorities), the central government plays a dominant role in resource mobilization, raising resources for financing not only its expenditures, but also for meeting a substantial proportion of public enterprises and local authorities demands for public funds. The central government also directly provides a good part of the economic and social services, with the local authorities playing a relatively less important role. Public enterprises, playing a major role in virtually all sectors of economy (power generation, transport, mining, manufacturing, forestry, trade, oil refining and distribution, and so on), have accounted for the bulk of public investment. | en_US |
