To further illustrate the enormity of the economic burden, we inherited: • An IMF programme which had derailed and completely gone off-track, with key targets missed, putting our economic recovery programme in jeopardy. In the words of the Deputy Managing Director of the IMF, Mr. Bo Li, “the programme had deviated substantially from its targets by the close of 2024.” • Weak commitment control systems and irresponsible spending left arrears of about GH¢67 billion and contract commitments of over GH¢194 billion. • A bleeding energy sector with annual financing shortfalls in excess of US$1.5 billion. • A debt-ridden cocoa sector with liabilities of GH¢32 billion. • A weak financial sector with significant non-performing loans (NPLs), despite pumping over GH¢30 billion into a so-called financial sector clean-up. • Steep debt repayment humps in 2026 (GH¢20 billion), 2027 (GH¢50.3 billion) and 2028 (GH¢45.8 billion), as well as significant short-term treasury bill maturities of GH¢137 billion. • Depleted buffers needed to cushion us against fiscal and external shocks, with an empty Sinking Fund. • Stalled projects—about 55 of them—tied to bilateral debt restructuring with about US$3 billion in undisbursed loans. The root of our 2022 economic crisis can be traced directly to an overbearing fiscal dominance marked by reckless spending and corruption, compounded by poor leadership of the previous administration. The worsened fiscal situation spilled over into the monetary and external sectors, causing a rapid depreciation of the Ghana Cedi. Monetary financing by the Bank of Ghana reached an all-time high, driving inflation to levels never seen in decades. There was a complete lack of coordination between the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Ghana, signaling the highest levels of incompetence in the management of the economy. In the face of this dire inheritance bequeathed by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration, the government of President John Dramani Mahama made a conscious decision not to make excuses, but to reset the country.
