“We are confident we will exceed that projection,” he stated.
The Finance Minister disclosed that he had met with the IMF’s African Department Director, Zeine Zeidane, in Bangkok, where he reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining sound economic management.
“In Bangkok, I met with the IMF’s African Department Director, Zeine Zeidane, and reaffirmed our commitment to the fiscal credibility, discipline and bold reforms powering Ghana’s economic turnaround,” Dr Forson said.
