The International Monetary Fund has appointed Dr. Leandro Medina to serve as the new country representative for Ghana. According to a Joy Business report, Mr Medina takes over from Dr. Touna Mama whose ‘Duty Tour’ was completed last week after serving in the position since 2018. Prior to his appointment, Dr. Medina served as the senior economist in the Strategy, Policy, and Review Department and the Macro Policy Division at the IMF. Before joining the IMF, Dr. Leandro Medina worked as an international consultant at the Inter-American Development Bank, participating in Portfolio Review and Policy Dialogue missions to Argentina and Uruguay. A team from the Fund led by Carlo Sdralevich subsequently visited Ghana between July 6 – 13, meeting with relevant stakeholders.
