Government might consider going to IMF - John Kumah
For a really long time, government has been reprimanded for neglecting to make the strong stride of buying into a Fund program to address the irregular characteristics inside the economy.
However, protecting their position, Mr. Kumah said all choices are on the table.
"In the event that it [bringing the economy back to life] becomes unthinkable, rescuing our economy is the main other option. However, where we are presently, we assume we are in the situation to rescue the economy or to attempt the local approach we are taking on."
"In the event that our projects bomb us and we can't get the certainty and the outcomes in the monetary space discipline, which we need to force on ourselves, then, at that point, we don't have a decision", the Deputy Finance Minister focused while communicating with George Wiafe on PM Express on JoyNews.
Mahama's call for IMF bailout
On his part, previous President John Mahama has approached government to look for help from the IMF critically.

"Because of the nature and profundity of our financial issues, this administration basically has no other economical choice.
"That is something this administration needs. They don't have monetary discipline and for that reason they are even hesitant to go into an IMF program," the previous President commented.
