The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Resident Representative in Ghana, Dr Adrian Alter, has revealed that the extension of Ghana’s programme to August 2026 was purely technical.

According to the Resident Representative, the extension was needed to allow more time to complete the final review of the programme, including an assessment of data for the end of 2025 and the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Dr Alter disclosed this on PM Express Business Edition with host George Wiafe.

The Resident Representative also rejected reports that the extension was due to Ghana missing some critical indicative targets under the programme and therefore needing more time to carry out corrective measures.
