Ghana's talks with the International Monetary Fund, IMF, for an economic rescue programme could yield fruits in the first quarter of 2023, a JoyNews reportage monitored by GhanaWeb has said. According to the report, sources close to the IMF made this revelation after a crunch meeting between the officials of the fund and Parliament’s Finance Committee on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. The IMF source, according to the report said, "the Fund is seriously concerned about the country’s debt position and will undertake a debt sustainability analysis before agreeing on a deal with the government." This was despite the insistence of Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, government functionaries and President Akufo-Addo that Ghana will not return to the IMF.
