Ghana
Ghana
1. Country / Territory
Brief
Ghana is a low middle
income country situated in West Africa, bordering the Gulf of Guinea between
Cote d’Ivoire and Togo.
Well acclaimed for its
years of political stability, Ghana is a prized recipient for foreign direct
investment in the region. The
country is ranked 67 on
the Ease of Doing Business Ranking and has an economy that is greatly centered
on services.
In fact, Ghana has
established itself as a prime destination for tourism, manufacturing and
agro-processing and constitutes
together with Nigeria the
motors of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Ghana is a
beneficiary of
ITC’s Ethical Fashion
Initiative which connects the fashion business to artisans in Africa and Haiti.
At the image of Kenya, the
country will be home to a
fashion products manufacturing hub.
Ghana main exports are
oil, gold, cocoa, bauxite and diamonds primarily towards France, Italy and the
Netherlands. It has been
a member of the World
Trade organization since January 1995 and has recently enacted a sound legal
framework for the
management of its oil
trade. Ghana has also made tremendous efforts towards attaining the MDG’s but
still encounters some
difficulties in terms of
under-5 mortality rates and maternal health improvement.

4.2 Domestic and Foreign
Market Access
Overview:
Trade Policy and Business Environment
INDICATOR,
UNITS RANK/132 SCORE
Domestic Market Access The
pillar assesses the level and complexity of a country’s tariff protection
as a
result of its trade policy. This component includes the effective
trade-weighted average tariff
applied
by a country, the share of goods imported duty free and the complexity of the
tariff regime,
measured
through tariff variance, the prevalence of tariff peaks and specific tariffs,
and the number
of
distinct tariffs.
106 4.05
Foreign Market Access The
pillar assesses tariff barriers faced by a country’s exporters in destination
markets.
It includes the average tariffs faced by the country as well as the margin of
preference in
destination
markets negotiated through bilateral or regional trade agreements or granted in
the form
of
trade preferences.
95 1.99
Tariff rate (%) This
indicator is calculated as a trade-weighted average of all the applied tariff
rates,
including
preferential rates that a country applies to the rest of the world. The weights
are the trade
patterns
of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). An applied tariff is a
customs duty
that is
levied on imports of merchandise goods.
103 10.40
Complexity of tariffs ,
index 1-7 (best) This indicator is calculated as the average of the
following
indicators:
Tariff dispersion, Specific tariffs and Number of distinct tariffs. See
description of each
individual
indicator for more details. Prior to averaging, values for each indicator were
transformed to
a 1–7
score, using the min-max method.
11 6.70
Tariffs dispersion
(standard deviation) This indicator reflects differences in tariffs across
product
categories
in a country’s tariff structure. The variance is calculated across all the
tariffs on imported
merchandise
goods, at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized Schedule.
31 6.86
Tariffs peaks (%) This
indicator is the ratio of the number of tariff lines exceeding three times the
average
domestic tariff (across all products) to the MFN (most-favoured nation) tariff
schedule. The
tariff
schedule is equal to the total number of tariff lines for each country. These
tariffs are revised on
a
yearly basis.
1 0.00
Specific tariffs (%) This
indicator is the ratio of the number of Harmonized System (HS) tariff lines,
with at
least one specific tariff, to the total number of HS tariff lines. A specific
tariff is a tariff rate
charged
on fixed amount per quantity (as opposed to ad valorem)
1 0.00
Number of distinct
tariffs This indicator reflects the number of distinct tariff rates applied
by a country
to its
imports across all sectors.
5 4.00
Share of duty-free
imports (%) Share of trade, excluding petroleum, that is imported free of
tariff
duties,
taking into account MFN tariffs and preferential agreements. Tariff data is
from 2013 or most
recent
year available and imports data is from 2012
107 26.54
Tariffs faced (%) This
indicator is calculated as the trade-weighted average of the applied tariff
rates,
including
preferential rates that the rest of the world applies to each country. The
weights are the
trade
patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). A tariff is a
customs duty that is
levied
by the destination country on imports of merchandise goods
116 5.71
Index of margin of
preference in destination markets, 0-100 (best) This indicator measures the
percentage
by which particular imports from one country are subject to lower tariffs than
the MFN
rate.
It is calculated as the average of two components: 1) the trade-weighted
average difference
between
the MFN tariff and the most advantageous preferential duty (advantage score),
and 2) the
ratio
of the advantage score to the trade-weighted average MFN tariff level. This
allows capturing
both
the absolute and the relative margin of preference.

telephone
subscriptions are subscriptions to a public mobile telephone service using
cellular
technology, which provides access to switched telephone technology.
Postpaid
and prepaid subscriptions are included. This can also include analogue and
digital
cellular systems but should not include non-cellular systems. Subscribers to
fixed
wireless, public mobile data services, or radio paging services are not
included.
17.11 99
Fixed broadband Internet
subscriptions/100 pop: The International Telecommunication
Union
considers broadband to be any dedicated connection to the Internet of 256
kilobits
per second or faster, in both directions. Broadband subscribers refers to the
sum of
DSL, cable modem and other broadband (for example, fiber optic, fixed
wireless,
apartment LANs, satellite connections) subscribers.
