The Managing
Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina
Georgieva, has stated that she is happy with the deal between Ghana and the
IMF.
According to
her, the deal should be reached and finalized before the end of the year.
She said the IMF
supports Ghana's efforts to stabilize the economy and promote an inclusive
recovery.
In a Twitter
post, she said "Wonderful to meet President @NAkufoAddo at #MSC2023. Very
pleased to hear authorities are making progress on bringing the staff-level
agreement to the IMF Exec. Board. We support Ghana’s efforts to stabilize the
economy & promote an inclusive recovery."
Earlier,
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said Ghana will secure the financial
bailout it is seeking from the IMF by March 2023.
He said
everything that is required for Ghana to do or submit in order to reach an
agreement with the fund has been done, and optimistic the processes have been
finalized.
He stressed that
there was a vital need for other creditors to support the efforts that his
government was undertaking to restructure both the external and domestic debts
of the country, to enable the IMF deal to fall through quickly.
