Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta outlined five key measures necessary for the government to pursue in order to secure an International Monetary Fund (IMF) support programme.
They are electricity tariff hikes which have brought the cumulative increase to 60% since August 2022 and Comprehensive set of revenue-enhancing measures, including increase in the Value Added Tax rate and the review of the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy).
All these are happening as government attempts frantic talks with creditors and the IMF in Washington to get the $3 billion bailout.
Amid these developments, JoyNews Emefa Apawu is hosting Information Minister on the journey so far and the expected outcomes.
