The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected to continue talks with Ghana next month for a possible Fund program for the country.

This is after the Ghanaian delegation in Washington DC concluded first round of negotiations with the Washington-based lender. 

According to a statement issued by the head of the IMF mission to Ghana, Joel Toujas-Bernate, discussions were productive.

Joel Toujas-Bernate  said in the statement the two factions "made further progress on identifying economic and policy reforms that could  form the basis of a possible fund supported program".

Also, according to the statement, Ghana and IMF are working in close collaboration with other multilateral partners such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
