Our negotiations with IMF progressing smoothly; ignore contrary claims – Gov’t - www.asempanews.com

The Ministry of Finance has rejected claims that its negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout have not been smooth as projected.

But the Ministry of Finance in the statement issued by its Public Relations Unit said the reports are false.

The Ministry quoted several statements issued by the IMF to buttress its rejoinder.

“Again, the Ministry refutes the claim that the government does not have a program for consideration by the IMF

“Finally, the Ministry of Finance strongly denies that there were inaccuracies in the figures presented to the IMF, leading to so-called “credibility issues”

The Finance Ministry further rebuked persons making the contrary claims and urged them to desist from spewing such falsehood.

Well-meaning Ghanaians are entreated to disregard false narratives, and instead, defer to official communications from the Ministry of Finance and the IMF.”
