Mahama Vows Tight Belts to Escape IMF Grip

President Mahama promised to keep government spending under tight control as Ghana prepares to finish its International Monetary Fund program. He spoke at the Ghana CEO Summit on Monday, May 26, about responsible money management. The president wants Ghana to complete the IMF deal and leave the program by 2026. Officials plan to finish the fourth program review before June 2025 arrives. This step will help the country recover from its economic problems.

Ghana will participate in Article IV talks after successfully completing the current program. The government plans to adopt the Policy Support Instrument framework for future cooperation. These actions show that Ghana wants to work with the IMF without borrowing more money. President Mahama believes strict financial rules will help the nation rebuild trust with investors. Development partners need to see Ghana managing its economy properly.

The president emphasized that completing the extended credit facility program requires careful discipline from leaders. Government officials must control spending and borrowing to meet all program targets set earlier. Mahama wants to signal that Ghana remains committed to fixing its economic management problems. Business leaders and international partners are watching to see if the country stays on track. The president hopes his commitment will restore confidence in Ghana among global investors.
