The International Monetary Fund in a recent press conference, said, “Faced with large policy slippages and reform delays at end-2024, the new administration has taken bold corrective actions to maintain the programme [Economic Credit Facility] on track. Combined with ongoing reform efforts and an improved external position, the corrective measures are set to support Ghana in reaching the goals of economic stabilization, rebuilding resilience, and fostering higher and more inclusive growth”.
The Fund added that the authorities are strongly committed to restoring fiscal discipline and addressing the structural weaknesses that led to the slippages, stressing. they have passed a 2025 budget consistent with the programme’s objectives and enacted an enhanced fiscal responsibility framework.
These assertions support a stable cedi going into the peak season.
