How can renegotiating be incompetence? Shouldn't Hanke first wait to know what renegotiation terms will be put forward by the incoming government?

Even if Mahama is given the opportunity to Renegotiate for thousand times the results will be the same. The 1st time Mahama went to IMF it was Otumfuo who took him there and they know how a poor leader he is.

The last your Mahama went to the IMF, he was led by the Asantehene, and is the Asantehene part of Mahama's cabinet?
That said, have you asked yourself who and what that Hanke is/was? Why is he always talking about Ghana and not the US where homelessness is swallowing them? How can a rich country like the US have such huge homeless population and that does not worry that Hanke right?

Again, you are speaking ignorance. Akufo-Ado is the only president in the 4th republic who manged a single digit inflation for three consecutive years. Kuffour, Rawlings, Atta-Mills did for 1 year. John Dramani couldn't achieve a single digit inflation. Just Google the figures because you argue ignorantly with me. The inflation in Ghana started to rise during/after covid and the Russian/Ukraine war, and the trend is the same worldwide. Yes, you can't understand the impact of Russian/Ukraine war if you don't their role in the Ghanaian supply chain and how its impact on other economies are interconnected to ours. Just wait to see if John Dramani can bring the inflation down. He can't blame the war or covid or anything because he made Ghanaians believe that has no consequences on our economy. We now all believe its all about competence. Poor him! No excuses!

This Prof Henke is a fraud and just an opportunist. If he is a real Prof, he should let Ghanaians see two of the latest books he has written. He is a jerk and a goddamn foolish bastard. When he was doing same to Akuffo Addo, we saw NDC sycophants hailing and praising him with various adjectives and Superlatives. Let Ghanaians come together on this forum and put him at his rightful perspective.
He claimed to be a Professor at John Hopkin’s University. I tried to find out for his recent academic researches and publications but found nothing. He is just fake and portrays himself as a noble researcher and an academic but he is none of that. Let him come out with his academic publications and who his publishers are.
He is damn stupidly stupid and knows nothing about the economy of Ghana, and the different economic terrains Ghana has traversed since independence. It would be nonsensical for Ghanaians to shower praises on his claims of knowledge of the economy of Ghana to get the support of the opposition. As an economist and a supposed guru in that discipline, why can’t he help solve the economic problems of the West, especially that of Uncle Sam, Canada, and the UK. Is he not aware that Uncle Sam’s economy almost got shut down yesterday? Yes, Biden unlike many Ghanaian politicians thought about USA first and used all methods to prevent that Granted that Henke is that knowledgeable on economics, what has he been able to help salvage the economy of Italy, Poland, and Spain whose economies are faltering. Let Ghanaians come together and attack him and point to him his academic ignorance. Mahama has just been voted into office so Henke the idiotic Maggot should leave him alone. Mahama is going to assume office so Henke should leave him alone to manage or mismanage the affairs of our country. That ignoramus bigot knows nothing about the economy of Ghana. Let us hear him talk about Uncle Sam. What a damn bastard.

In New York and California, some people live and sleep under bridges. Why can’t he publish about them? He just writes to belittle Ghana. That is crazily stupid.
Henke, can you publish anything about the assaults, murders and other violent attacks in your country as compared to Ghana? That dumb fool should leave Ghanaians alone. People on this forum who follow what l put up know that Mahama, strictly speaking is not someone l support. That doesn’t mean l should let this mad and crazy idiot look down on him and think that Ghanaians and the incoming President are ignorant and not knowledgeable. He rather is a dumb fool pretending to know what is best for Ghanaians. Henke, please, Ghana is not your country so leave Ghanaians and the incoming President alone.

You're right to a point in the sense that, imf is more or less a financial institution that offers loans to distressed countries.

Your Minister of Finance and your Bank of Ghana governor are locally supervised within their own institutions by foreigners.

The picture appears JM ,president elect ,is arrested by the Professor of economics for incompetency for opting for renegotiation of IMF loans. But forgetting his party team of economics as always as indirect negotiators . My worry lies with abandonment of wastage control mechanisms which result into shortfalls and huge judgement debt . Why should a Prof. in a reputable educational setting calls for a switch- off of a teacher in the field of play to assess other. I have never ever seen Akwasi Appiah and Otto Addo ,Black stars coaches, switching off player(s) for assessment of other to end up losing matches. Headache of Ghana educational system being managed by Dr Adutwum.

Why don't we contact Nana Kwame Bediako to learn about his policy on IMF.
True, Ghanaians rejected him and his policies and even labelled him as a SCAMMER, but he had really good things to say on his policies, especially on IMF and the CEDI
Elections are over, and if we have the nation at heart, we will put together some of the good things all contestants had to help develop the country and this certainly should include Nana kwame Bediako's policy on IMF and the CEDI.

These apostles of reset want IMF, World Bank and the other Financial institutions to grant them fiscal space to appropriate the country's resources to meet their personal and political goals. They did not fight for power to improve the living conditions of ordinary citizens. This should be clear to any Ghanaian who is expecting any good development programme from John Mahama and his fellow kleptocrats.

The IMF and the World Bank, the two questionable institutions in the World. The World Bank for instance should rethink and value the kind of programmes that are forwarded to them by Ghana’s Ministry of Finance. Those projects are only making some individuals benefit from the corrupt nature of the packed activities and programmes. No physical evidence of the money spent or value for money can be seen by Ghanaians. The programmes majority are training training training- full of trainers, consultants etc; this is total nonsense. The attitude of the Bretton Woods Institutions are the bane on the economy.

I respect Steve. But I think he needs not rush to judge. Prof. must remember that during the East-Asian financial crisis, Malaysia was the only country that rejected the IMF prescriptions, and the world predicted doom for the country. Yet, Malaysia was the first country to come out of the crisis.
The Fund prescriptions, which basically ask countries to pursue fiscal prudence, have not always solved the structural problems of those countries, that is why Ghana has been under such problems for 18 times.
While I fully accept that it is the responsibility of the leadership of Ghana to deal with the country's structural economic problems, I am also convinced the Fund Programme should never be seen as the complete solution to Ghana's endemic structural economic problems.
I don't have details of the 'tweaking' Mahama referred to, and I am sure the renowned Prof doesn't have the details either. That is why describing the mere mention of revisiting the Programme as 'another Ghanaian incompetence' too hasty a judgement.

What is this nonsense? Has Hanke finished solving economic problems in his country? If he had any remedy to the wanton borrowing of the NPP government leading to this IMF saga, why didn't he offer it then? In this case, he is expected to approach his dissent to Prez elect Mahama's immediate plans in a more civilised manner. We frown on foreign agents who claim they know it all but offer very little. He must learn that there are economic professors in Ghana as well. Sometimes, theories propounded in textbooks do not really solve the problems on the ground.

We need to end this reliance on the IMF and chart a self reliant path.
Unfortunately our greedy misleaders will never allow that to happen.
@ Witful
How??????
Prepare for Economic Hardship. Don't say i did not warn you.
Steve Hanke, are you a Ghanaian or you love our country? Thank you for your affirmation. Mahama is just a coward man with no manly vision. He's absolutely incompetent.
Oyiwa.
Mahama is still incompetent, he cannot do us well. Negotiations with the IMF before his swears in. What an akokora tipa paaa nie.
Here we come again o, our so called upcoming president is negotiating with the IMF before he takes office. WTF. Hahaha
IMF already by Mahama, aaaaw, y3n ko te a mete. Mahama gyimi aaaah,? Hmmm, aaaaaaaky3.
They don't have a program......

Talk about Ghana but not party now. When he was always talking rubbish and nonsense about NPP and Akuffo Addo, who sent him? Some NDC people were stupidly hailing him as very knowledgeable. Why should NDC people cry now? Let ...

I can hear this prof loud and clear. IMF doesn’t work!
What is his suggestion if renegotiation is incompetent ?
I respect Steve. But I think he needs not rush to judge. Prof. must remember that during the East-Asian financial crisis, Malaysia was the only country that rejected the IMF prescriptions, and the world predicted doom for the ...

When NDC talked about Ghana Reset, I thought they were coming to do away with the things of the past , including IMF. Therefore Mahama negotiating with IMF even before coming to power, means the NDc has nothing better to of ...
