Ghana is on the brink of securing an International Monetary Fund (IMF) Executive Board approval for a USD3 billion bailout.
The approval is expected by close of day, Wednesday 17th May, 2023 with a formal announcement due on Thursday 18th May.

We also expect the cedi to strengthen against the dollar and trigger a cascading effect on inflation. But the key question is whether the gains can be sustained. Evans Mensah breaks it all down.
