Ghana’s programme with IMF
The letter from the IMF Managing Director is coming at time Ghana has successfully passed three reviews under the programme, resulting in the release of almost 2 billion dollars to Ghana.
The IMF in its third review statement noted that Ghana’s performance under the programme has been generally satisfactory, and reform efforts are paying off.
It also added that “good progress has been made on debt restructuring. Growth is recovering rapidly, inflation has declined—although at a slower pace, and the fiscal and external positions have continued to improve”.
The IMF however warned that going forward, staying the course of macroeconomic policy adjustment and reforms is essential to fully and durably restore macroeconomic stability.
Ghana on May 17, 2023, signed up to an IMF programme to access about 3 billion dollars , by working to bring Ghana’s debts to sustainable levels.
