Ato Forson engages World Bank on growth agenda at IMF meetings

Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson has met with Ousmane Diagana at the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C., to discuss Ghana’s economic outlook and development priorities.

Hon. Forson stated that Ghana has stabilised its economy and is on a path to debt sustainability, with a shift in focus from stabilisation to growth.

The meeting with the World Bank focused on deepening collaboration in key areas, including commercial agriculture and agribusiness, energy, particularly gas-to-power and gas-to-fertiliser, education and human capital development, and infrastructure to support the movement of goods.

He restated the government’s commitment to fiscal discipline while protecting vulnerable populations and welcomed continued World Bank support to drive inclusive growth.
