The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved for Ghana on Friday, a three-year arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) of 663. 20 Million Special Drawing Rights (SDR-United Nations currency) or 918 million U.S dollars, a release received here has said.
The decision by the Executive Board will enable an immediate disbursement of SDR 83.025 million or about 114.8 million dollars, it added.
