A staff mission from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is due to arrive in Ghana today (Wednesday 7 June) to assess the progress of Ghana’s stimulus package.
The visit marks the IMF’s first review since it approved Ghana’s $3 billion bailout package on May 17. An initial disbursement of $600 million has been made under approved arrangements, with further disbursements expected to be made every six months based on program evaluations conducted by the IMF’s Executive Board.
During the week-long visit, key institutions such as the Bank of Ghana, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant stakeholders will discuss how to move forward.
