Akufo-Addo applauds Paris Club for facilitating smooth IMF programme

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has shown appreciation to the French and Chinese governments for their support in Ghana’s external debt exchange.

The two countries that are part of the Paris Club played a major role in the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) balance of payment support to Ghana.

Speaking at an event at the French Embassy in Accra, President Akufo-Addo said France and Ghana remain key partners in Ghana’s developmental drive.

“Let me use this occasion to express Ghana’s deep appreciation of the work of the Paris Committee, the Paris Club, whose official creditor committee is co-chaired by the Republic of France and the People’s Republic of China for the satisfactory work that has brought a solution to Ghana’s debt restructuring, as the Ambassador said, in record time.

“I have personally already expressed my appreciation and thanks to President [Emmanuel] Macron and President Xi Jinping.”
