On the issue of deliberate misreporting of economic data to Parliament, the minister described the accusation as not only unfortunate but also “simply untrue and for that matter the Ministry of Finance never misreported to Parliament as has been alleged.”

“That allegation that different sets of data were presented to Parliament and the IMF is not true.

“The 2019 Article 4 which they cited actually and clearly demonstrates the computing and reporting of the deficit is consistent between the government and the IMF as shown on the table labeled Ghana Selected Economic and Financial Indicator from 2017 to 2024 on page 4 of the IMF Article 4 and Appendix III (A) in the 2019 budget,” he explained.
