Minority Caucus Engages IMF Officials on Ghana’s Economic Developments
The Minority Caucus of the Parliament of Ghana has held a meeting with officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to provide feedback on recent economic developments in the country. The engagement, which was requested by the Minority Leader, Osahem Alexander Kwamen Afenyo-Markin, brought together key members of the Caucus and IMF officials to discuss the current state of Ghana’s economy.
The meeting, which took place at the Parliament House in Accra on March 16, 2026, featured contributions from several members of the Minority Caucus, including Hon. Jerry Ahmed Shaib, Second Deputy Minority Whip; Hon. Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, Ranking Member on Finance; and Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Ranking Member on Economy and Development.
The IMF delegation was led by Adrian Alter, Resident Representative, and included Mr. Razafimahefa Ivohasina Fizara, Coordinator of AFRITAC West 2, and Mr. Osa Ahinakwah, Economist at the IMF Country Office. Dr. Antoinette Tsiboe-Darko, Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, also attended the meeting.
In a statement, the Minority Leader, Osahem Alexander Kwamen Afenyo-Markin, described the discussions as “constructive and mutually beneficial to both sides as stakeholders in Ghana’s governance”. The meeting provided an opportunity for the Minority Caucus to share their perspectives on the country’s economic situation and to engage with the IMF officials on key issues affecting Ghana’s economy.
The IMF engagement comes amid ongoing economic challenges facing Ghana, including high inflation, currency depreciation, and concerns about the country’s debt sustainability. The meeting is expected to inform the IMF’s ongoing support to Ghana and to contribute to the country’s efforts to address its economic challenges.
The Minority Caucus is expected to continue to play a key role in holding the government accountable for its economic policies and to ensure that the interests of Ghanaians are represented in all engagements with international financial institutions.
