The Minister of Finance Dr Mohammed Amin Adam has pleaded with Ghanaians to be patient as the government tackles the economic challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\nHe says that systematic progress is being made to address the challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe admit that there are still challenges, we cannot bring to amend at a go, it has to be systematic, and patient, I call on the people of Ghana to be patient with us and they will see the benefits and development in the communities across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have come out of the crisis, we are now building on it to bring our economy to the peak when we will have single-digit inflation,\u201d Speaking during a joint Ministry of Finance, Bank of Ghana, and International Monetary Fund (IMF) press conference on the disbursement of the $360 million third tranche, in Accra on Monday, July 1.<\/p>\n
For his part, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Ghana, Mr. St\u00e9phane Roudet,\u00a0 said that the progress made by Ghana in ensuring economic stability is impressive.<\/p>\n
He observed that the country has come a long way following the economic crisis that occurred in 2022.<\/p>\n
He said at the same press conference that \u201cGhana has truly come a long way after being confronted with economic and financial crisis in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government and authorities embarked on a comprehensive reform programme aimed at restoring economic stability and debt sustainability and laying the foundation for robust and inclusive recovery. The progress Ghana has made is impressive on the fiscal front to bring public financing back on a sustainable track.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Executive Board of the IMF on Friday, June 28 announced the completion of the second review of Ghana\u2019s US$3 billion, 36-month\u202fExtended Credit Facility\u00a0(ECF)\u00a0Arrangement, which was approved\u00a0by the Board\u00a0in May 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Completion of the\u00a0second\u00a0ECF review allows for an immediate disbursement of\u00a0SDR\u202f269.1\u00a0million (about US$360 million), bringing Ghana\u2019s total disbursements under the arrangement to about US$1.6\u00a0billion.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Find said \u201cGhana\u2019s economic reform program is delivering on its objectives. Following acute economic and financial pressures in 2022, the Fund-supported program\u00a0has\u00a0provided a credible anchor for the government to adjust macroeconomic policies and implement reforms to restore macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability, while laying the foundations for higher and more inclusive growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese efforts are paying off, with growth proving more resilient than initially expected, inflation declining at a faster pace, and the fiscal and external positions improving.\u00a0The medium-term outlook\u00a0remains\u00a0favorable but subject to downside risks\u2014including those\u00a0related to the upcoming general elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana\u2019s performance under the IMF-supported program has been generally strong. All quantitative performance criteria for the second review and almost all indicative targets were met. Good progress has also been made on the key structural reform milestones, despite some delays.\u201d<\/p>\n
It added that \u201cThe Ghanaian authorities have also continued to make progress on their comprehensive debt restructuring.On June 11, 2024, the authorities reached\u00a0agreement\u00a0with Ghana\u2019s Official Creditor Committee (OCC) under the G20\u2019s Common Framework on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) formalizing the agreement in principle on a debt treatment, which was\u00a0reached\u00a0in\u00a0January 2024. This agreement on a debt treatment, consistent with program parameters, provided the financing assurances necessary for the second review under the ECF Arrangement to be completed. The authorities have also recently reached agreement in principle with representatives of Eurobond holders on a restructuring consistent with program parameters, subject to confirmation on comparability of treatment by the OCC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana\u2019s primary fiscal balance improved by over 4 percent of GDP last year. Looking ahead, the authorities are committed to further advancing fiscal consolidation, including by achieving primary fiscal surpluses of \u00bd percent of GDP this year and 1\u00bd percent of GDP in 2025. These efforts are underpinned by reforms to bolster revenue mobilization and streamline non-priority expenditures, while expanding social protection programs to mitigate the impact of fiscal adjustment on the most vulnerable. The authorities are also taking steps to strengthen tax administration, expenditure controls and management of arrears, fiscal rules and institutions, and SOEs management\u2014including in the energy and cocoa sectors.\u00a0\u00a0The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has maintained a prudent monetary policy stance to sustain a rapid reduction in inflation and has taken steps to rebuild international reserves. The BoG has also appropriately strengthened measures to preserve financial sector stability\u2014including by ensuring implementation of banks\u2019 recapitalization plans\u2014while the Ministry of Finance has started recapitalizing state-owned banks consistent with available resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ambitious structural reforms to help create an environment more conducive to private sector investment, and to enhance governance and transparency are gaining prominence and will be key to boosting the economy\u2019s potential and underpin sustainable job creation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, sustaining macroeconomic policy adjustment and reforms is essential to fully and durably restore macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability\u2014especially during the upcoming electoral period\u2014while fostering a sustainable increase in economic growth and poverty reduction.<\/p>\n
Following the Executive Board discussion on Ghana, Deputy Managing Director Kenji Okamura issued the following statement:<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana\u2019s performance under its ECF-supported reform program has been generally strong. The authorities\u2019 strategy aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and reducing debt vulnerabilities is paying off, with clear signs of stabilization emerging. Going forward, perseverance in macroeconomic policy adjustment and reforms is essential to fully restore macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability, while fostering a sustainable increase in economic growth and poverty reduction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ghana has made progress adjusting its fiscal position. Looking ahead, attaining the fiscal objectives under the Fund-supported program requires further mobilizing domestic revenue, streamlining public spending\u2014including related to externally-funded expenditures, and finalizing Ghana\u2019s comprehensive debt restructuring. The authorities\u2019 strong debt restructuring efforts are paying off with the reaching of agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding with the Official Creditor Committee and an Agreement in Principle with bondholders. Resolve in keeping the domestic revenue mobilization agenda on track and tightening expenditure commitment controls is critical to avoid policy slippages ahead of the December 2024 general elections. These efforts should be supported by continued progress in improving tax administration, strengthening expenditure control and management of arrears, enhancing fiscal rules and institutions, and improving SOEs management. Bolstering targeted social protection programs is needed to cushion the vulnerable from the impact of fiscal adjustment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The authorities took decisive steps to contain inflation and rebuild foreign reserve buffers. Going forward, maintaining an appropriately tight monetary stance, and enhancing exchange rate flexibility are of the essence, along with timely implementation of Fund\u2019s advice on safeguards.<\/p>\n
The authorities have taken appropriate actions to ensure implementation of banks\u2019 recapitalization plans and start recapitalizing state-owned banks. Sustaining these efforts, together with a cost-effective resolution of legacy issues, are essential to ringfence financial sector stability going forward.<\/p>\n
Greater focus on reforms aimed at private sector development is needed to foster inclusive growth and poverty reduction. In this regard, a key step is to ensure that the policy interventions underpinning Ghana\u2019s National Development Policy Framework are recalibrated to reflect the socio-economic impact of the shocks that occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n
