Ghana has received more than US$114 million from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to support its economic recovery following several years of turbulence.

This is the latest disbursement from a lending arrangement that began in April 2015 which could see the West African country receiving more than US$900 million over a three-year period.

Ghana was once considered a regional model for economic growth but debt, inflation and the depreciation of its currency caused growth to decline from 8 per cent in 2012 to 3.5 per cent last year.

Bruce Edwards discusses Ghana’s economic challenges with Joël Toujas-Bernaté, IMF Mission Chief for the country.
