Ghana is experiencing an economic turnaround with growth surpassing expectations, according to the International Monetary Fund. The IMF noted progress in reducing public debt, forecasting a decrease to 60% of GDP this year from 82% in 2022.

IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozack highlighted ongoing improvements, emphasizing the need for sustained economic reforms to solidify debt sustainability. Among these reforms are steps to enhance domestic revenue collection, a critical component for the country's continued financial health.
