Again the most recent mission reached an agreement with the government on policies that are needed to tackle the most recent issues and also put in place an important budget for next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Ghana has done its fair share and it is for creditors to take steps on this, we are not going to ask the government to do more adjustments because creditors haven\u2019t asked either. So we will provide all the information necessary so creditors can move, allowing us to go to the board as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Finance Minister, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam has expressed confidence that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will release the third tranche of the three billion dollar bailout once an MOU with the external creditors is secured.
