We find that while QFAs have been reduced recently, they remain significant. The extensive nature of these activities has several macroeconomic and structural policy implications. An extended measure of public sector operations, including QFAs, presents a clearer picture of Ghana's fiscal stance and fiscal adjustment from one for the central government alone; QFAs have led to serious distortions in energy and water consumption; and they have distorted the investment decisions of both public enterprises and the private sector. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/24. 606 $aFiscal policy$zGhana 606 $aFinance, Public$zGhana 606 $aGovernment business enterprises$zGhana 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aFinance, Public 615 0$aGovernment business enterprises 700 $aChivakul$b Mali$01722111 701 $aYork$b Robert C$g(Robert Christopher),$f1962-$01751728 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816282703321 996 $aImplications of quasi-fiscal activities in Ghana$94186820 997 $aUNINA
