IMF team to visit Ghana from 26 September to 7 October

From September 26 to October 7, a staff delegation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by Stéphane Roudet, mission leader for Ghana, will be in Accra to continue negotiations with the Ghanaian government about policies and reforms that could be financed by an IMF funding arrangement.

During the tour, IMF employees will also interact with other stakeholders further.

Between July 6 and July 13, 2022, a staff delegation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) led by Carlo Sdralevich visited Accra to assess the country’s economic situation and talk about the general framework of the government’s Enhanced Domestic Program that could be financed by an IMF lending arrangement.

Vice-President Bawumia, Finance Minister Ofori-Atta, and Governor Addison of the Bank of Ghana met with the IMF delegation (BoG).

In order to discuss social spending, the team also visited with the Finance Committee of the Parliament, nonprofits, and development agencies like UNICEF and the World Bank.

“Ghana is dealing with a severe economic and social situation in a challenging international climate. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic worsening of the financial and debt crisis.

Investors’ worries have also led to credit rating downgrades, capital outflows, a lack of access to external markets, and higher domestic borrowing rates, according to a statement from Sdralevich.

BoG reschedules MPC meeting

Prior to this, the BoG changed the date of its impending interest rate decision from 26 September to 7 October in order to coincide with the conclusion of an IMF mission to the nation.

“To allow the decision on the policy rate to benefit from the wider talks to be made during the term, the Bank of Ghana is rescheduling its 108th Monetary Policy Committee meeting to coincide with the end of the IMF mission. On October 7, 2022, a decision about the direction of monetary policy will be made public, according to a statement from the BoG.

Twitter to charge $20 per month for verification badge

Only a few days after taking over as Twitter’s CEO, Elon Musk is apparently working on some significant improvements.

The Twitter Blue membership and even the verification procedure, which awards verified accounts with a “Blue tick,” are expected to undergo modifications.

According to reports, the Twitter Blue subscription will be connected to it, and Musk also has big price increases planned for the subscriptions.

The new Twitter Blue subscription will cost customers $19.99, according to a report by The Verge. Additionally, Twitter accounts that already have the blue tick will need to abide by this new system and pay for it.

According to the article, verified users will have a total of 90 days to switch to Twitter Blue before they lose their checkmark.

Employees of Twitter have also been told to resign or move quickly with this new membership plan. According to the article, a deadline of November 7 has been set for the staff.

Blue Twitter Subscription

Twitter Blue, a paid monthly opt-in subscription that grants exclusive access to premium services, was introduced last year.

This, according to Twitter, will allow you to personalize your Twitter experience. In the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the subscription service is now available.

It will be interesting to see how Musk implements both a global rollout and a complete overhaul of the payment system. Twitter Blue can be bought in-app on iOS and Android in the regions that are eligible.

Elon Musk recently revealed screenshots from internal Twitter communications that proved the board of directors had misled to him before the transaction was finalized.

The security chief mentions “fraudulent metrics” being shown in the screen grab. Bots, however, were not mentioned. According to Musk, he will share additional details in the coming days.
