The International Monetary Fund’s country representative to Ghana Dr. Samir Jahjah has ended his service in the country.

Dr. Jahjah who has been in the country since 2012, spearheaded a lot of IMF’s activities and programs in the Ghana.  

Joy Business is leaning that Dr. Jahjah left the country last Friday. Under his leadership, Dr. Samir Jahjah saw the IMF establish a Technical Assistance Centre here in Ghana – the fifth in Africa and ninth in the world.

The centre is meant to build the capacities of six other African countries, and when it comes to putting in place Macro-economic policies, it is to help reduce poverty in these countries. 

Ghana also signed up to another IMF program to help stabilize its economy in April this year under his stewardship in the country.  

Dr. Jahjah is heading to the Central African Republic as a Mission Chief for that country – a position that some would describe as a promotion.

Meanwhile the immediate IMF mission to Lesotho and senior economist with the FUND, madam Natalia Koliadina is expected to take over from him in the coming days, as the new country representative to Ghana.
