President Adama Barrow has stated that despite the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Gambian economy, growth rebounded to 4.5 percent in 2021.
“Although the growth remained below the pre-pandemic levels, it was still significant, however, the slowdown of business activities in 2020 and the third wave of the virus in July 2021 affected the economy’s recovery,” the Gambian leader told Gambians in his 2022 legislative year state of the nation address at the National Assembly in Banjul.”
