The International Monetary Fund (IMF) commenced its first review of Ghana's Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) in its second week. The discussions are centered on Ghana's fiscal performance, public debt management, and preparations for the 2027 Budget. Led by its Chief of Mission to Ghana, Dr. Ruben Atoyan, the IMF team held talks with fiscal and monetary authorities and visited selected state-owned enterprises, including the Tema Oil Refinery.
The review aims to evaluate Ghana's economic performance during the first nine months of 2026. This includes the country's revenue mobilization, expenditure management, and spending priorities for the following year. Unlike Ghana's previous US$3 billion Extended Credit Facility programme, the PCI does not offer direct financial aid. Instead, it serves as a framework for monitoring economic policies and reforms.
The outcomes of this review will be crucial as the Ghanaian government prepares its 2027 Budget. The IMF's assessment will play a key role in ensuring economic stability while meeting the nation's development needs.
