An International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff team, led by Carlo Sdralevich, Mission Chief for Ghana, will visit Accra from July 6 to 13 to begin initial discussions with the Ghanaian authorities about a possible IMF-supported programme.
Mr. Sdralevich issued the following statement at the start of the visit.
“On the basis of a request from the Ghanaian authorities, an IMF staff team will in the coming days’ kick-start discussions on a possible programme to support Ghana’s homegrown economic policies. We are at an early stage in the process, given that detailed discussions are yet to take place.”
“The IMF stands ready to assist Ghana to restore macroeconomic stability, safeguard debt sustainability, and promote inclusive and sustainable growth, and address the impact of the war in Ukraine and the lingering pandemic”, the statement pointed out.
“We are looking forward to our engagement with the authorities in Accra”, it concluded.
