German Ambassador expresses readiness to proceed with signing of bilateral deals to support Ghana’s financial stability

His comments came after the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, told him that the government remained committed to fulfilling the conditions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme.

The Finance Minister said the government is also ensuring the successful completion of the country’s debt restructuring efforts.

Dr. Forson acknowledged that Ghana had previously missed some structural benchmarks under the IMF programme.

However, he assured that his administration is actively addressing these gaps.

“We have taken concrete steps to correct the structural benchmarks that were missed under the previous government, and the results will soon be evident,” he stated during a meeting with the German Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Daniel Krull.

On Ghana’s ongoing debt restructuring, Dr. Forson emphasized that the country has made significant progress and is now focused on finalizing individual bilateral agreements with its external creditors.

He appealed for Germany’s support in expediting the process, noting that securing these agreements is crucial for Ghana’s economic recovery.

The government said it remains optimistic that ongoing reforms and international support will help position the country on a stronger economic path.
