Ghana’s finance ministry has formed a five-member committee with the Bank of Ghana to lead discussions with the financial services industry concerning an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

The goal of the committee is to “ensure orderliness and confidence in the government’s ongoing negotiations with the IMF,” the statement said.
A similar engagement will be undertaken with external bondholders, it added.
An IMF team visited Ghana last week for talks about a potential loan programme after the West African country requested support. It said discussions were constructive but that more work was needed on a debt-sustainability analysis.Â
