83 The government of Ghana in line with the vision of propelling the country’s economy to a middle-income status identified certain sectors of the economy for wealth creation since 2001. This was christened "President’s Special Initiative” (PSI) where certain commodities were earmarked for intervention and they include: cassava & starch, textiles & garments, oil palm, salt, among others. The objective of this paper was to find out whether it is justifiable for governments to intervene in enterprises especially in developing countries, as a tool for economic growth. Therefore three (3) of the commodities from the PSI were assessed in order to determine the impact of government intervention. The methodology used was performance plausibility assessment technique using previous economic growth as historical control.
