For some time now, Ghana has been working to secure an IMF program to support the economy.

Managers of the economy are hoping to secure an IMF supported program before the presentation of the 2023 budget by the finance Minister.
Many Ghanaians are complaining about the high cost of living due to continuous increase in fuel prices and prices of goods and services.
