IMF team arrives in Ghana today September 26

A team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected to visit Accra from today September 26 – October 7.

The staff led by Stéphane Roudet, Mission Chief for Ghana, is scheduled to continue discussions with the government officials on programmes and reforms that could be supported by an IMF lending arrangement.

The IMF team will also hold discussions with other stakeholders during the visit.

In July, an IMF team visited Ghana for initial discussions with the government.

“…We characterized that mission as constructive, kickstarted the process, and laid the groundwork for engagement,” Gerry Rice, the Director of Communications for the IMF told a media engagement ahead of this week’s visit.

Ghana is expected to receive $3 billion from the IMF to boost the struggling economy.
