IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with Uruguay

May 17, 2023
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation [1] with Uruguay on May 15, 2023.

IMF Executive Board Approves US$3 Billion Extended Credit Facility Arrangement for Ghana

May 17, 2023

The government has also launched a comprehensive debt restructuring to address severe financing constraints and the unsustainable public debt. Securing timely debt restructuring agreements with external creditors will be essential for the successful implementation of the new ECF arrangement.  click for more
