We’re committed to helping Ghana resolve current economic crisis – China assures

-

 

China’s Minister for Finance, Mr. Liu Kun says the Chinese Ministry is willing to help Ghana secure the balance of payments bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

According to him, the Chinese government has an obligation to ensure the Ghanaian economy does not collapse and this is due to the confidence the people of China have in the long-term economic prospects of Ghana.

“We know that these are short-term challenges which we as responsible creditors remain committed to resolving.  The long-standing and prosperous relationship between Ghana and China imposes on us, a responsibility to help. Chinese authorities have confidence in Ghana’s economic management and its long-term economic viability.”

Mr. Kun also added that “China believes in promoting debt sustainability and sustainable development.”

Mr. Liu Kun made the comments when Ghana’s Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta led a delegation to engage China over a $1.7 billion debt.

The Ghana delegation is made up of Technical Officials from the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Bank of Ghana.

Mr. Ofori-Atta in a meeting with the Chinese government officials also discussed the bilateral talks with China on debt restructuring as well as seeking financial assurances for Ghana’s programme with the IMF.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ofori-Atta has earlier said discussions with the Chinese government on the country’s debt restructuring programme have been positive.
