Ghana Aims for Increased IMF Support Under New Finance Minister
January 10, 2025 - 11:27
Ghana is positioning itself to secure additional financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other multilateral institutions, according to Cassiel Ato Forson, the newly appointed finance minister. Forson emphasized the importance of external funding to stabilize the country’s economy, which has been grappling with significant challenges in recent years.
The government’s strategy involves engaging with the IMF to negotiate a more comprehensive support package that could help address pressing fiscal issues and stimulate economic growth. Forson’s appointment comes at a critical time as Ghana seeks to navigate high inflation rates and a rising public debt burden.
The finance minister highlighted the need for a collaborative approach with international partners to foster economic resilience and development. As Ghana moves forward with these plans, the focus will be on ensuring that the financial assistance translates into tangible benefits for the population and contributes to long-term economic stability.
