Ghana shines at World Badminton Juniors in Egypt

Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson is representing Ghana at the 2026 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, as the nation shifts its focus from economic stabilization to sustained transformation. The meetings, set for October 12 to 18, precede the 2027 budget, during which Dr. Forson is anticipated to present the New Economy, the government's blueprint for Ghana's economic future.

During the Bangkok summit, Finance Minister Forson is expected to hold bilateral meetings and engage in multilateral discussions with world leaders, senior officials from the IMF and World Bank, and representatives from other international financial institutions. This is the first time the conference is being held outside Washington, D.C. since Dr. Forson became Finance Minister in 2025.

Ghana is entering these discussions in a positive light, having received favorable assessments from the Bretton Woods institutions for its progress in restoring economic stability following the 2022 crisis. This recovery serves as the backdrop for the government's next major policy undertaking: transitioning from stabilization to building an economy capable of sustaining growth and delivering lasting development.

Dr. Forson has already signaled this transition during his presentation of the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review, emphasizing that stabilization was merely the "price of entry" and not the ultimate goal.
