Ninety-five percent of Ghanaians in a survey conducted by professional services firm PwC believe the country's macroeconomic performance in the first half of the year has met or exceeded expectations.
Similarly, 68% of the respondents remain confident that the overall real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth target of 4.0% will be achieved or surpassed.
The survey was conducted online.
About 45% of the respondents, however, intimated that the drop in inflation is not reflecting in their daily lives.
Nonetheless, 62% of the respondents are optimistic that the targeted end-period inflation will be achieved or even surpassed. The Bank of Ghana has targeted an end-of-period inflation of 12% for 2012, whilst the Government of Ghana has targeted about 11%.
The Bank of Ghana also received praise for the good run of inflation.
The report indicated that while many Ghanaians do not feel the benefits, two-thirds believe the performance will hold or be even better in the second half of the year.
On tax policy, 60% of respondents believe the tax policy environment in the first half of 2025 has been supportive yet still needs improvement.
However, 25% say tax administration experience has been unsatisfactory.
