IMF exit has exposed Ghana’s economic challenges again – Gideon Boako

In a Facebook post on Monday, August 3, Dr Boako argued that the end of the IMF programme had revealed what he described as underlying weaknesses in the economy, questioning the government’s claims of building resilience and achieving meaningful fiscal consolidation.

The former aide to the former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, also questioned the quality of the government’s fiscal consolidation measures, arguing that they have affected development rather than strengthened the economy.“The quality of our fiscal consolidation is also highly questionable.
