Market Economy
With over ten thousand individual stalls, Kejetia is believed to be the largest open air market in West Africa, a thriving, bustling, kaleidoscopic space that brings people together from all over central Ghana and constitutes the beating heart of the region's economy. Kejetia is Ghana's answer to Amazon or Walmart, and in its winding alleys you can find everything from dried vultures imbued with healing powers to brand new iPhones and ingots of pure gold. The site has been a centre of trade since the 13th century.
