Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has said that the World Bank has committed $250 million to Ghana’s Financial Stability Fund.
According to him, the fund is expected to hit the accounts latest by the third quarter.
He made this known while speaking at a news conference in Washington DC.
He explained that the stability fund is being established to ensure that government can intervene in the event of any solvency and liquidity issues.
Clarifying his statement in an interview on Joy FMs Midday news on Monday, Mr Ofori-Atta reiterated “that the World Bank has committed $250 million.”
He noted that currently, talks are underway for donor partners such as the African Development Bank for further resources into the fund.
