The Country Representative of the IMF Dr Natalia Koliadina explained that if the consolation programme keeps going on as planned, Ghana’s debt to GDP will decline.

“That is the reason why it is so important to actually resume fiscal consolidation to stabilise debt,” he said.

Since the last review, the government of Ghana has put in place some measures to clear some of the energy sector debt which stood at 2.4 billion cedis.

The government has also recapitalised some distraught commercial banks in the country.

After the meeting in July 2017, the Board is also expected to officially confirm Ghana’s request for the extension of the programme from April 2018 to December 2018.

In 2015 the IMF approved a three-year bailout programme for Ghana worth $918 million.

This is aimed at putting the country’s economy back on track.
