International Monetary Fund (IMF) Staff to Visit Ghana

The IMF staff team in Ghana from December 1-13 will be led by Stéphane Roudet, mission chief for Ghana, and will continue to discuss with government officials the economic growth post-COVID program and associated policy and reforms that the IMF might support. IMF staff will also engage with other stakeholders during the visit.

The IMF has held productive discussions with the government over the last few months and looks forward to working with them in Accra, Roudet said. We wish to make further progress toward an agreement on policies and reforms that we might support.

Mr. Roudet issued the following statement ahead of the visit:

“We have had productive discussions with the Ghanaian authorities over the last few months and look forward to our engagement in Accra.

“Our objective for this visit is to make further progress toward reaching an agreement on policies and reforms that could be supported by an IMF lending arrangement.

“The IMF remains fully committed to helping Ghana restore macroeconomic stability, bring relief to Ghanaians in this time of crisis, and lay the foundation for more inclusive growth.”
