The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Finance Ministry is currently addressing the nation on the agreement they have reached.

The deal on economic policies and reforms is to be supported by a new three-year arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) of about $3 billion.

According to a statement from the fund, the government strong reform programme aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability while protecting the vulnerable, preserving financial stability and laying the foundation for strong and inclusive recovery, was key in this decision.

However, the staff-level agreement is subject to IMF Management and Executive Board approval and receipt of the necessary financing assurances by Ghana’s partners and creditors.
