Ghana Set to Exit IMF Programme in April 2026 – Mahama
Speaking at the Ghana–Zambia Business Dialogue in Lusaka on Friday, February 6, President Mahama said inflation has eased, foreign reserves have improved, and investor confidence is returning following recent fiscal reforms.
He noted that the stabilising economy positions Ghana to expand trade and investment, particularly under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
According to the President, inflation has declined significantly, international reserves have strengthened, and Ghana’s credit ratings have been upgraded — developments he described as clear signals of renewed global confidence in the country’s economic management.
President Mahama further disclosed that, based on the gains recorded so far, Ghana remains on track to successfully conclude its IMF programme by April 2026.
“We are on track to successfully conclude our IMF programme by April 2026, demonstrating our firm commitment to fiscal sustainability, structural reform, and long-term economic transformation,” he stated.
He emphasised that the progress made provides a solid foundation for Ghana’s broader development agenda, which is anchored on five strategic pillars: industrialisation and value addition; export-led growth; modern infrastructure development; strong support for small and medium-sized enterprises—particularly women- and youth-led businesses; and the creation of a predictable, transparent, and investor-friendly business environment.
