Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, is leading the country’s delegation to the 2025 IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings. This marks the first participation under the new National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration led by President John Mahama.
The meetings come just one week after Ghana secured a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund on the fourth review of its IMF-supported programme. This agreement is expected to lead to the release of approximately 370 million dollars in support of Ghana’s economic recovery agenda.
What makes the deal particularly noteworthy is that it was reached despite several structural benchmarks and quantitative targets under the programme being missed prior to the new administration taking office. The agreement reflects renewed international confidence in Ghana’s direction, largely driven by the swift and targeted actions taken by the new government.
The Mahama-led administration has worked tirelessly to reverse the country’s fiscal challenges.
