Summary

The 2007 Article IV Consultation reports on Ghana’s recent economic and policy development. Public Financial Management (PFM) has been strengthened through improvements in fiscal reporting and deployment of the new computerized payroll management system. Executive Directors commended the Ghanaian authorities for their continued implementation of sound economic policies and structural reforms, which have contributed to strong economic growth. They noted that absent the scaling up of donor assistance in the near future, Ghana has decided to access the international capital market to finance prudently selected infrastructure projects needed for achieving its growth.
