The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has highlighted Ghana’s economic journey since the beginning of the year to a team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Monday, September 29.
He explained to the team that although Ghana started 2025 with significant challenges, firm efforts and collective action have helped to steady the tide and deliver notable progress.
He emphasised that while some risks remain, the government remains fully committed to addressing them decisively.
The Finance Minister said this when he officially received the International Monetary Fund Mission team, led by Dr. Ruben Atoyan, to commence the Fifth Review of Ghana’s IMF-Supported Programme.
Present at the meeting were the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama; the First Deputy Governor, Dr. Zakari Mumuni; Deputy Minister for Finance, Thomas Nyarko Ampem; Chief Director of the Ministry of Finance, Patrick Nomo; and other senior officials from both the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Ghana.
The Minister said that the Fifth Review offers an important opportunity for Ghana to assess its progress under the programme and benefit from the IMF’s feedback.
In his remarks, Dr. Atoyan noted that the IMF team looks forward to the review in the coming days.
