This statistic is not sourced. This seems extremely unlikely, because the USA only spends about 0.6% of GDP on space exploration. 1% of Ghana's GDP would be 700 million USD, and I can find no evidence of such large spending. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/38.49.79.174" title="Special:Contributions/38.49.79.174">38.49.79.174</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:38.49.79.174&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:38.49.79.174 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ghana#c-38.49.79.174-20240307034300-percent_of_Ghana_GDP_spent_on_Space_exploration" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-38.49.79.174-20240307034300-percent_of_Ghana_GDP_spent_on_Space_exploration"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-38.49.79.174-20240307034300-percent_of_Ghana_GDP_spent_on_Space_exploration"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="A_table_was_extended_to_entire_article" data-mw-thread-id="h-A_table_was_extended_to_entire_article-20240307035000"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-A_table_was_extended_to_entire_article-20240307035000"></span>A table was extended to entire article<span data-mw-comment-end="h-A_table_was_extended_to_entire_article-20240307035000"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ghana&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: A table was extended to entire article"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Varoart2005-20240307035000-A_table_was_extended_to_entire_article"></span>I wanted to request an edit- can someone who knows how to do so, fix the current error- a table in the geography section has been extended to the rest of the article, so that half of the article is colored grey, clearly an error.

One paragraph: </p><p><a href="/wiki/Foreign_direct_investment" title="Foreign direct investment">Foreign Direct Investment</a> are increasing in Ghana, especially from China and US. Chinese investment have significantly influenced the nation's economic growth and have impacted bilateral ties, regional interactions, and global markets.

Personally I think it's beyond reasonable doubt but that's why I'm not an academic <dl><dd><dl><dd>"<i>Firstly, there are mentions of a political entity called Ghāna in written Arabic sources. Secondly, there is the legend of the Soninké people about a polity that ruled in an area called Wagadu. Thirdly, there is a comparatively long history of archaeological research in the wider region that has become attached to the Empire of Ghana.</i>"</dd> <dd>"<i>The first mentions of the political entity that later became known as the Empire of Ghana are in Arabic texts after the 8th century CE. In the 10th-century work of al-Ma’sūdī, there is a reference to an unknown manuscript by al-Fazārī that appears to be from the late 8th or early 9th century. Al-Fazārī is quoted as mentioning “Ghāna, the land of gold,”3 an association that sticks to Ghāna throughout its mentions in the Arabic source material. Written between 831 and 842, al-Khuwārizmī’s Ṣurat al-arḍ mentions Ghāna and its geographic position, as well as a mountain of the same name, Jabal Ghāna, from which there flows a river into the sea.4 What exactly Ghāna was in this early period, however, is open to debate among the translators: Cuoq translates al-Fazārī as describing “the state of Ghāna”5 while Levtzion and Hopkins translate the same passage as “the province of Ghāna.”6 Some clarity is introduced by Al-Ya’qūbī in his Tārīkh, written in 872–873. In one of the most fundamental quotes for the early political history of West Africa, he states:</i></dd> <dd><i>Then there is the kingdom of Ghāna, whose king is also very powerful. In his country are the gold mines, and under his authority are a number of kings. Among them are the kingdom of ‘ĀM and the kingdom of Sāma. Gold is found in the whole of this country.7</i></dd> <dd><i>Together with the preceding section, a list of kings who are subordinate to the nearby king of Kawkaw (Gao), this passage is taken as proof for the existence of a complex political hierarchy in the western Sahel and is the main justification for speaking about an “Empire” of Ghana. We must however note that, by this point, the political structure of Ghāna has undergone three processes of distortion: first, in the way the North African visitors understood what they saw and related it; second, in the way the authors of the Arabic sources interpreted this information; and third, in the way that European scholars interpreted the Arabic sources. To speak of Ghāna as an empire and of its rulers as kings certainly overfamiliarizes a political form whose actual shape we know only in outline and by approximation.</i></dd> <dd><i>Yet if Al-Ya ̔qūbī states that Ghāna is a “kingdom,” then Ibn al-Faqīh, writing after 903, muddies the waters again by referring to Ghāna as a “land” as well as a “town.”8 Ibn Ḥawqal, in the second half of the 10th century, is of the opinion that Ghāna is the name of the ruler as well as the country he rules.9 The most detailed source, Al-Bakrī in the 11th century, finally states that “Ghāna is a title given to their kings,” while the region has the name Awkar. All the while, however, Al-Bakrī still refers to the “town of Ghāna.” While the Empire of Ghana has become a common term, it is far from clear whether this is in any way a name that this polity used for itself, or whether it rather refers to the ruler, the capital, or the core region it controls. Neither do we know what language the word “Ghāna” is taken from. It is neither Arabic, nor does it appear to be from a Mandé language.</i>"</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd> <dd><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Alexanderkowal&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Alexanderkowal (page does not exist)">Alexanderkowal</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alexanderkowal&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Alexanderkowal (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ghana#c-Alexanderkowal-20240608143600-Chipmunkdavis-20240608141900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alexanderkowal-20240608143600-Chipmunkdavis-20240608141900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alexanderkowal-20240608143600-Chipmunkdavis-20240608141900"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Moxy-20240608153100-Alexanderkowal-20240608143600"></span>Sorry guys got the info from <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMcKissackMcKissack2016" class="citation book cs1">McKissack, P.; McKissack, F.
