He noted that economic recovery would be the central focus of his government\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe economy will be our primary concern because it impacts every other area. A struggling economy affects education, agriculture, sports, and every sector of the country. Stabilising the economy will therefore be our immediate priority,\u201d Mahama stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighting Ghana\u2019s current challenges, Mahama identified macroeconomic instability and unsustainable debt levels as twin issues requiring urgent attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Mahama explained that, unlike previous engagements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which solely addressed macroeconomic concerns, the current situation necessitates tackling both simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the past, our engagements with the IMF were mainly for macroeconomic stabilisation, but now we face dual challenges, which makes this situation unique,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President-elect also revealed plans to collaborate with the IMF to ensure a cohesive implementation of the existing programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have requested discussions with the IMF, as we were not involved in negotiating this programme. We must align our approaches to its implementation. Let me be clear\u2014we are not jettisoning the programme.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;However, we are exploring opportunities to tweak certain aspects within the programme framework. Once we reach an agreement, we will continue with the programme until its conclusion,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President-elect, John Mahama, has reaffirmed that his administration will prioritise macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability as key pillars of governance.
