Mr Ofori-Atta said government is making ‘a never-to-return’ walk away from the IMF and this time for good. It also means that we will not come into government in 2017 and inherit a deficit of 9.3 [per cent]. So whatever we do, you then operate within a band of reasonableness irrespective of the government that is in place. In addition to all that, government has also established the Economic Planning Committee at the ministry Finance which will be chaired by both the Governor of the Bank of Ghana and the Minister of Finance.
