Ghana’s finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has expressed confidence and applauded the “positive and encouraging” meetings between his country and China.
Ofori-Atta said the deliberations with Chinese counterparts were focused on investments and Ghana’s debt struggles.
The country is currently facing high levels of inflation and has sought help from the IMF, which agreed to a preliminary $3Billion loan for the country in December.
Ofori-Atta posted a tweet stating that he looked “forward to securing external assurances very soon” from China regarding the country’s debt.
Part of the IMF deal requires Ghana to get “necessary financing assurances” from its creditors.
