Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling the requirements of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme while ensuring the successful completion of Ghana’s debt restructuring efforts.
According to Dr. Forson, significant strides have been made in addressing structural benchmarks that were previously missed under the former administration. He assured that these corrective measures would soon yield tangible results.
He acknowledged past shortcomings in meeting certain IMF targets but emphasized that proactive steps have been taken to realign with the programme’s expectations.
Providing an update on Ghana’s debt restructuring, Dr. Forson highlighted considerable progress in negotiations with external creditors. The primary focus now, he noted, is on concluding bilateral agreements, a key milestone in the country’s economic stabilization efforts.
Additionally, he called on Germany to lend its support in fast-tracking the restructuring process, stressing that securing these agreements is critical for Ghana’s financial recovery.
