Steve Hanke, an American economist and professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University, has described plans by President-elect John Dramani Mahama to renegotiate the deal between Ghana and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a mark of incompetence.
Following his victory in the 2024 general elections, Mr Mahama pledged to review Ghana’s existing agreements with development partners to align with the country’s current needs and aspirations.
