Abena Osei-Asare, Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, firmly refuted claims that the current government has deviated from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the mid-year budget debate in parliament, Osei-Asare emphasized the government\u2019s strict adherence to the IMF program, contrasting it with the previous administration\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to clarify that we did not stray from the IMF program prior to 2020,\u201d Osei-Asare affirmed.<\/p>\n

She highlighted the government\u2019s successful management of the program, mentioning the recent receipt of a third tranche of $306 million, bringing the total disbursement to $1.56 billion.<\/p>\n

Osei-Asare elaborated on the government\u2019s achievements, mentioning a positive review in April and the approval of the third tranche on June 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate another successful review in September and October. The opposition may not understand, but I am basing my statements on data,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

In a direct criticism of the opposition, Osei-Asare pointed out the derailment of the IMF program under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not strayed from the IMF program, unlike our friends who caused significant harm to the nation in 2016,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

Osei-Asare emphasized the government\u2019s commitment to meeting the approved limits and targets outlined in the IMF program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are dedicated to agreeing with and adhering to the targets we have set for ourselves under the IMF program,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

The mid-year budget debate continues as parliament assesses the government\u2019s financial progress and future plans.<\/p>\n
