He said the IMF supports Ghana’s efforts to stabilize the economy and promote an inclusive recovery.
In a Twitter post, he said, “Great to meet President @NAkufoAddo at #MSC2023. IMF Exec. Very happy to hear officials are making progress in bringing staff level agreement to board. We support Ghana’s efforts to stabilize and stimulate economy. Inclusive recovery.”
Earlier, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said Ghana would secure the economic bailout it is seeking from the IMF by March 2023.
He said everything Ghana needed to do or submit to come to an agreement with the fund had been done and optimistic processes had been finalised.
He emphasized that there is a key need for other creditors to support his government’s efforts to restructure the country’s external and domestic debts, to allow the IMF deal to fall through quickly.
