IMF Approval: Minister of State at Finance Ministry expects positive response from rating agencies on Ghana’s economic outlook

In a recent interview, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, shed light on Ghana’s economic trajectory and the government’s expectations regarding the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program approval. With a renewed focus on fiscal stability and structural reforms, Dr. Adam expressed confidence in a favorable response from rating agencies. These agencies, he believes, will be reassured by the proactive measures taken to address concerns about Ghana’s fiscal situation—a critical step towards bolstering investor confidence and paving the way for sustainable economic growth.

Ghana, with great anticipation, awaits the disbursement of approximately $1.2 billion from the IMF. However, this financial injection is contingent upon the successful fulfillment of predetermined benchmarks and conditions outlined in the program. Dr. Adam underscored the importance of meeting these milestones, as they form the foundation for unlocking the remaining tranches of funding, which are expected to be disbursed at six-month intervals. It is this much-needed influx of capital that Ghana hopes will breathe new life into its economy, reinvigorating both public and private sectors and inspiring renewed investor trust.

The government is resolute in its commitment to meeting the conditions set forth by the IMF program, assuring stakeholders that no challenge is insurmountable. Dr. Adam emphatically stated, “There is nothing like difficult conditions that we cannot address, looking at the work that the government has done over the past two years.” Furthermore, he emphasized that the government deserves recognition for its proactive approach in implementing some of the conditions well ahead of schedule. Such commendable progress positions Ghana favorably among other nations that have sought similar assistance from the IMF.

One issue that has recently captured public attention is the plight of pension bond holders, who staged protests at the Ministry of Finance over the non-payment of coupons and principals. Dr. Adam acknowledged their concerns and revealed that fruitful negotiations are underway to reach a resolution. While the process has been challenging, the government remains committed to finding an equitable solution that safeguards the interests of all parties involved. This proactive engagement with pension bond holders demonstrates the government’s responsiveness to the needs of its citizens, further strengthening the narrative of Ghana’s commitment to fiscal transparency and accountability.

Another critical area of focus for the government is the power sector. Dr. Adam highlighted the government’s proposal for debt restructuring with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) as a significant step towards long-term sustainability. With an estimated debt restructuring window encompassing $20 billion, Ghana aims to garner support from all stakeholders in the energy sector.

The Finance Ministry is cautiously optimistic that these proposals will receive widespread acceptance, paving the way for tangible progress in reducing the sector’s financial burden. Dr. Adam stressed the urgency of achieving debt sustainability targets, with a specific aim of lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio to 55 percent by 2028. By garnering the cooperation of creditors and stakeholders, the government hopes to forge a mutually beneficial path forward that ensures the long-term viability of the power sector and its contributions to Ghana’s overall economic stability.
