Following a ministerial reshuffle by President Nana Akufo-Addo, the newly appointed Finance Minister, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to the ongoing programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Dr Amin Adam assured that there would be no deviation from the established path and emphasised the importance of continuity in collaboration with the IMF.
Dr Amin Adam highlighted the pro-poor initiatives outlined in the recent budget, expressing his commitment to maintaining and advancing those initiatives.
He stated, “I do not intend to depart from those pro-poor initiatives, and I will ensure that business follows as usual as it should.
We will make sure that we move faster to implement the tax reliefs that were made in the budget, and I am going to make sure the poor are insulated.”
Dr Amin Adam underscored the significance of adherence to the IMF programme, acknowledging that Ghana is currently under an IMF programme.
He assured the IMF and the business community that he would work diligently to ensure that the programme remains on track and does not suffer any disruptions.
The ongoing IMF programme reflects a strategic partnership between Ghana and the IMF, aimed at addressing economic challenges and promoting fiscal responsibility in the country, he said.
He assured his commitment to the IMF programme speaking in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
