Ghana’s Minister of Trade and Industry has allayed Ghanaian's fears about the country's move to request a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The announcement came as a surprise, especially due to widespread fear that it would stifle the economy. Not so, said Alan Kyeremanteng. He asserted that Ghana will bounce back quickly because of its commitment to financial self-reliance and strong economic fundamentals. In an interview with a TV station from Accra, he said that the government has a plan on what it is looking for from the IMF. He spoke about how hard it was when Ghana chose to go to the IMF and how much the country has progressed under current leadership. He says that the economic growth rate between 2017 and 2019 should be proof enough that things will be okay and reassured those who may be worried about the state of affairs to trust in their leadership while they negotiate this time around.
