加纳 Walewale 选区议员、前副总统 Mahamudu Bawumia 博士的经济顾问 Tiah Abdul-Kabiru Mahama 博士澄清称， Akufo-Addo 政府未能充分利用黄金储备支撑本币汇率，系受国际货币基金组织（IMF）相关条款限制。加纳目前正在实施一项由国际货币基金组织支持的宏观经济稳定计划，旨在恢复宏观经济稳定并应对财政挑战。近日，Abdul-Kabiru 博士表示国际货币基金组织计划条款规定政府每月动用包括黄金在内的外汇储备上限为 8000 万美元。他指出该月度限额后来降至 6000 万美元，直至计划评估后才完全取消限制。"政府（Akufo-Addo 政府）无法充分动用（黄金）储备购买本币存在特定原因。国际货币基金组织条款规定每月上限为 8000 万美元。黄金储备属于外汇储备组成部分。根据条款要求，我们必须维持三个月进口额度的储备。""当你正在积累储备以达到特定门槛时，显然不能持续消耗储备。后来限额甚至降至每月 6000 万美元可供支配额度。直到计划评估后，这项限制才被取消。" 他解释道。
IMF Conditionalities Limited Use of Gold Reserves under Akufo-Addo – Dr. Kabiru
Dr. Tiah Abdul-Kabiru Mahama, Member of Parliament for Walewale and former Economic Advisor to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has clarified that the Akufo-Addo administration’s limited use of Ghana’s gold reserves to support the local currency was due to restrictions imposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Ghana is currently under an IMF-supported programme aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and addressing fiscal challenges.
Speaking on The Point of View on Channel One TV on Wednesday, May 21, with Bernard Avle, Dr. Abdul-Kabiru said the IMF’s programme conditions capped the government’s monthly use of foreign reserves, which include gold, at $80 million.
He noted that the monthly limit was later reduced to $60 million before being lifted entirely after a programme review.
“There was one reason the government [Akufo-Addo administration] couldn’t deploy fully the [gold] reserves to buy the currency. The IMF conditionalities capped it at $80 million per month. The gold reserves are part of the foreign reserves. We were supposed to have three months of import cover as part of the conditionalities.
“If you’re building the reserves to meet that particular threshold, you cannot be seen depleting them. It got to a point that it was even reduced to $60 million per month, which we could liquidate. Until after the review programme, they lifted that conditionality,” he explained.
