The Internationally Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday, May 17 finally approved Ghana’s Programme request seeking for a $3 billion Balance of Payment support to stabilise the economy.
The $3 billion programme aims to support Ghana’s economic reform program over the next three years.
The IMF has since suggested measures the government could implement to boost revenue mobilisation.
The National Democratic Congress on Saturday, May 13 held its primaries across the country in a bid to elect Presidential and Parliamentary candidates.
