"Without precedent for history, an oil-rich country, exactly five years into oil creation, is looking for a bailout from the IMF" (Akufo-Addo 2015).
The ongoing president tweeted the above post in April 2015, soon after his ancestor, previous President John Dramani Mahama connected with the IMF under a functioning system.
In what has been broadly viewed as surprising among the overall Ghanaian public, given his history of degrading the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ghana's President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has entrusted Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to start formal commitment with the IMF.
An assertion endorsed by the Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said, "This follows a phone discussion between the president and the IMF Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva, passing Ghana's choice on to draw in with the asset."
The Ghanaian government is set to begin converses with a designation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) over a financial help bundle.
The Ministry of Finance expressed the public authority is focused on effectively arranging a program with the IMF before very long. As per the Ministry, the fundamental purposes behind this new visit to the IMF are the crumbling obligation to GDP proportion, which remains at 84%, and the high expansion rate, which right now remains at 28%. Because of the great obligation proportion, Ghana doesn't approach the capital business sectors, and the lethargic E-demand charge isn't raising the assets the public authority needs.
Generally Ghana has been to the IMF for financial help multiple times. Past IMF programs upheld the Ghanaian government with impractical obligation position, outer shocks, and equilibrium of installment issues. Truth be told, Ghana has visited the IMF under the last three state run administrations (NPP and NDC legislatures).
The new inescapable backfire which followed the declaration that this ongoing government has chosen to go for the IMF bailouts comes from the assertions made by driving government individuals (counting President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia) comparing IMF bailout to ineptitude.
Preceding the 2016 political decision, this administration advanced the contention that a visit to the IMF implied that the decision government was not capable and should be seen out.
The Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government has reliably expressed that "they have the men" and skill to guide the country away from IMF. Furthermore, accordingly, the public clamor is the consequence of one more bombed guarantee from this administration.
Pushing ahead, the NDC-USA supports the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government to initially apologize to Ghanaians for this U-turn in approach. We likewise empower driving individuals from the NPP government to participate in more goal and capable political analysis.
At last, the public authority ought to contact the resistance NDC and different partners to help arrange and effectively execute the IMF program to reestablish public certainty since key government representatives and figures like Minister of money Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta and Minister of State at the Presidency, Mr. Charles Adu Boahen have lost believability and need ability to help Ghana to arrange a more ideal arrangement for Ghana, promptly. There's no time to waste!
