Published on: Wednesday 26 August 2026
The World Bank has identified Ghana’s transport sector as a major constraint to economic growth, competitiveness and job creation, citing significant gaps in road and rail infrastructure and weaknesses in sector management. World Bank Division Director for Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Robert R. Taliercio, said the challenges were limiting economic opportunities and restricting access to markets. He was speaking in Accra at the launch of the World Bank’s Tenth Ghana Economic Update. “This is not just an infrastructure story. It’s a growth story, competitiveness story, and a job story. The sector is functioning well below its potential, unfortunately,” he said.
