Ghana’s Parliament approved a historic $2.8 billion debt relief agreement with 25 creditor nations. The deal aims to restore macroeconomic stability and open access to new IMF and World Bank funding. Finance Minister praised the plan as a “reset” for the nation’s economy. Economists, however, warned that structural reforms are needed for long-term impact. Citizens hope the agreement leads to lower inflation and job creation.
