The International Monetary Fund staff and government have reached a Staff-Level Agreement on economic policies and reforms to be supported by a new three-year arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) of about $3 billion.  The government's sturdy reform program, which aimed to rebuild macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability while safeguarding the most vulnerable, maintaining financial stability, and laying the groundwork for a strong and inclusive recovery, was crucial in this decision, the fund said in a statement. The staff-level agreement, however, is dependent on receiving the required finance assurances from Ghana's partners and creditors as well as IMF Management and Executive Board approval. The government has started a thorough debt operation, the statement continued, to help with the goal of restoring public debt sustainability. However, the Fund stated that before the proposed Fund-supported programme can be submitted to the IMF Executive Board for
