Provisional government expenditure on social benefits in Ghana 2020-2023
As of the second quarter of 2023, government expenditure allocated to social benefits was some million Ghana cedi, around U.S. dollars. In the second quarter of 2020, it reached * million Ghana cedis (GHS) (approximately *** million U.S. dollars).
