President Akufo-Addo has expressed his gratitude to the French and Chinese governments for their support in Ghana’s external debt exchange. 

According to the president, their assistance has been crucial in facilitating the process.

The two countries, both members of the Paris Club, played a significant role in securing the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) balance of payment support for Ghana. 

This collaboration has been instrumental in addressing the country's financial challenges.

Speaking at an event at the French Embassy in Accra, President Akufo-Addo emphasised that France and Ghana continue to be key partners in the nation's developmental efforts. 

He highlighted the importance of this partnership in driving Ghana's progress and achieving its developmental goals.

“Let me use this occasion to express Ghana’s deep appreciation of the work of the Paris Committee, the Paris Club, whose official creditor committee is co-chaired by France and China for the satisfactory work that has brought a solution to Ghana’s debt restructuring, as the Ambassador said, in record time."

“I have personally already expressed my appreciation and thanks to President [Emmanuel] Macron and President Xi Jinping," he said.
