The World Bank has approved a $360 million financing package for Ghana, aimed at supporting the country’s ongoing economic recovery and reform agenda. The funding, announced today, is part of the Second Resilient Recovery Development Policy Operation (DPO) and reflects renewed international confidence in Ghana’s economic turnaround efforts.

The package is being provided through the International Development Association (IDA) and will focus on critical areas including fiscal sustainability, financial sector stability, energy sector reforms, and building climate and social resilience.

The move marks a major milestone in Ghana’s recovery from its recent fiscal crisis and comes as part of the World Bank’s broader crisis response framework for the country.

Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson welcomed the support, calling it a significant endorsement of Ghana’s economic reform path under the IMF-supported programme.

“The successful implementation of the IMF reforms and the DPO series has laid a solid foundation for economic recovery,” he said. “This additional support will help us strengthen fiscal discipline, rebuild investor confidence, and create a more inclusive and resilient economy.”

The operation is designed to reinforce structural reforms across key sectors and support long-term sustainability, moving Ghana from short-term crisis response toward sustained economic transformation.

The DPO will target several reform pillars:


  • Restoring fiscal and debt sustainability


  • Revitalising private-sector-led growth


  • Stabilising and strengthening the financial sector


  • Addressing inefficiencies in the energy sector


  • Promoting climate adaptation and social resilience

The package also includes measures to improve domestic revenue mobilisation, integrate climate change considerations into national policies, and ensure better protection for the country’s most vulnerable populations.

Robert Taliercio, World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, emphasised the urgency of the reforms and the importance of building long-term resilience.

“Entrenching fiscal and debt sustainability, creating jobs through private investment, and protecting the most vulnerable remain urgent priorities,” Taliercio said. “These steps are essential to revitalize Ghana’s domestic private sector, improve resilience to climate shocks, and enhance the lives of ordinary citizens.”

The initiative underscores a broader shift in Ghana’s economic management—from emergency stabilization to long-term structural reform and sustainability. The World Bank’s continued support is seen as a critical step toward future-proofing Ghana’s economy and ensuring inclusive growth.
