Ghanaian economy remains resilient despite global shocks - Dr Ato Forson

Ghana’s economy remains resilient despite recent global shocks, finance minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has stated following a meeting with Anna Bjerde, Managing Director for Operations at the World Bank, at the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings.

The Minister stated that prudent policy decisions, strong reforms, and buffers built since last year anchor the country's resilience.

He noted that increased gas production has also helped cushion the impact of rising global energy prices.

Dr. Forson, however, acknowledged that inefficiencies in the energy distribution sector remain a key risk to sustaining the gains.

"We are now addressing inefficiencies in the energy distribution sector through private sector participation to improve performance," Dr Forson said.

Anna Bjerde reaffirmed the World Bank's support and stressed the need to resolve energy sector challenges.
