Ghana inflates fiscal deficit away

  • Ghana lowers its 2022 deficit forecast to 6.6% of GDP from 7.4% in its mid-year budget review

  • However, the improvement is coming entirely from higher nominal GDP due to inflation rather than fiscal cuts

  • Hence, we caution against reading too much into the lower deficit target; much still rides on the IMF's own assessment
