Ken Ofori-Atta, the Minister of Finance, says the outcome of the 2021 Population and Housing Census (PHC) would aid the nation to review her 2020 per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from GH¢13,000.79 to a much higher figure.
Per capita income is a measure of the amount of money earned per person in a country, while per capita income of a nation is calculated by dividing the country s national income by its population.
Mr Ofori-Atta, who is Chairman of the National Census Steering Committee, speaking at the launch of the 30-day countdown to the Census Night, in Accra, said having accurate and reliable data would aid government, businesses and Civil Society Organisations, to effectively plan, monitor and evaluate policies and programmes for developmental growth.
