In November 2010, the government of Ghana made a number of changes to the way it calculated GDP, resulting in a 60% upward change in its estimate.[1][2] The change led to discussion of the accuracy of GDP estimates, particularly in the context of Africa.[3][4][5][6][7] It was also the first of many rebasings undertaken by African economies, most of which led to significant upward revisions in their estimates of GDP.
