Major Financial Boost for Ghana's Development Aspirations as It Inks US$2 Billion Deal with Korea

Ghana has secured a significant financial boost for its development ambitions by inking a US$2 billion framework arrangement with South Korea’s Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF).

This deal, signed at the 2024 Korea-Africa Summit, is set to enhance the implementation of Ghana’s key priority programs across various sectors over the next five years.

The signing ceremony, which featured Ghana’s Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, represents a significant milestone in the economic development partnership between Ghana and South Korea. Dr. Amin Adam highlighted the strategic importance of the deal, stating, “The signing of the 2024-2028 Framework Arrangement represents a renewed commitment to our shared vision of sustainable development and prosperity.”

Expressing profound gratitude, Dr. Amin Adam noted, “On behalf of His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the good people of Ghana, I want to express our sincere gratitude to the Korean government and the EDCF for their continued partnership and commitment to our development journey.” The US$2 billion financing facility is unprecedented, with no country having committed more on such concessional terms.

Transformative Projects Across Multiple Sectors

The deal is poised to catalyze transformative projects across multiple sectors, propelling Ghana’s development ambitions to new heights. Dr. Amin Adam outlined the potential impact, stating, “With the provision of US$2 billion from EDCF, we will embark on transformative projects that are set to redefine our nation’s infrastructure landscape. High-speed railways, highways, and sustainable energy systems are on our agenda.”

The framework arrangement will also bolster efforts to enhance healthcare facilities, disease prevention, and health initiatives. “A healthy population is the bedrock of progress,” emphasized Dr. Amin Adam, highlighting the government’s commitment to improving the well-being of its citizens.

Education remains a top priority, with plans to expand access to quality learning opportunities, vocational training, and digital literacy programs. “Our commitment to quality education remains unwavering,” Dr. Amin Adam affirmed, recognizing the pivotal role of an educated workforce in driving societal advancement.

Transparency and accountability are at the forefront of the government’s approach. Dr. Amin Adam assured efficient project management and effective monitoring to maximize the investment’s impact. “We remain committed to ensuring efficient utilization of the EDCF resources through effective project management to maximize the impact of this investment,” he stated.

Ghana’s Recent Economic Rebound

Dr. Amin Adam also highlighted Ghana’s recent economic rebound, driven by prudent policies and robust growth. “Ghana has made notable strides in its macroeconomic landscape, underpinned by resilient and robust growth and substantial progress in key performance indicators,” he said. This includes GDP growth exceeding expectations, declining inflation, and improvements in gross international reserves.

The successful implementation of Ghana’s IMF-supported Post COVID-19 Programme for Economic Growth (PC-PEG) has been central to these achievements. The second review in April 2024 led to a staff-level agreement expected to trigger an additional US$360 million disbursement, bringing total disbursements to US$1.56 billion.

Ghana’s delegation to the Korea-Africa Summit was led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and included Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, Minister for Trade and Industry Kobina Tahiru Hammond, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Minister for Health Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye, and Minister for Communication and Digitalisation Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.

The US$2 billion deal with South Korea marks a historic commitment and a significant step forward in Ghana’s development agenda, promising transformative impacts across key sectors and reinforcing the longstanding economic partnership between the two nations.
