The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved the Fifth Review of Ghana’s IMF-supported programme on Wednesday, 17 December 2025.

The approval reflects Ghana’s strong performance under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme and acknowledges Government’s sustained efforts to restore macroeconomic stability, strengthen public finances, and support economic recovery.

The completion of the Fifth Review will trigger the release of a sixth tranche of US$380 million.

Welcoming the approval, the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, described the decision as another major milestone in Ghana’s economic recovery journey.

According to the Finance Minister, the IMF Executive Board’s decision represents a clear vote of confidence in Government’s reform agenda and overall economic management.

“This is clear confirmation that Ghana is firmly resetting for growth, jobs, and economic transformation,” Dr. Forson stressed.
