IMF Did Not Confirm That NDC Attributes Its Success to Previous Government

Recent claims that the IMF confirmed the NDC in Ghana has acknowledged that its current economic achievements are actually due to policies of the previous government are not supported by any public record.

No such statement in IMF reports

The IMF’s public reviews—including the 4th review in July 2025 and prior assessments—discussed Ghana’s economic performance, inflation trends, fiscal reforms, and the implementation of structural reforms by the current administration . There is no reference to any NDC admission crediting the past administration for current successes.

Media coverage contains no supporting evidence

Major international outlets such as Reuters and the Financial Times, in their reporting on debt restructuring and IMF agreements, do not report any comments or acknowledgments from the NDC in this regard .

Experts and context

Analysts note that economic recovery under Ghana’s IMF-supported programme reflects fiscal consolidation, debt restructuring, strengthened monetary policy, and recent reforms adopted postelections—not a hand‐off from prior leadership. While Ghana’s economy continues to recover, that recovery is credited to active policy steps by the current government.

Verdict: The claim that the IMF confirmed the NDC recognized that their success stems from the previous government is a misrepresentation. No verified source—IMF, media, or official NDC communications—supports it.

If you came across this statement in social media or an article, it is likely misleading or inaccurate.
