Key Highlights 1. Price Levels · Headline year-on-year inflation at 25.00% from 25.80% prior. · Food inflation leading non-food inflation but gap closed to about 300bps from 1300 bps a year ago. Both currently sit at 26.80% and 23.50% respectively. · Month-on-month pressures still remain · Core-inflation (the Headline inflation stripped off all volatile items) still well above 22% - adding to how entrenched current inflation is. · Simply on base effects, we expect year-on-year headline inflation to print lower than the 25% we have now. A much clearer view of price pressures should be felt in the month-on-month and imported inflationary prints as well as fuel/transportation prices together with local unit depreciation. · We are calling the next inflation (to be announced on 12th June 2024) to print at between 20.50% to 21.99%. 2. Real GDP Growth · Real Annual growth at +2.1% after contracting by -6.4% a year ago. · End-2023 growth was +2.9% better than the -3.5% in Dec-22. · This should better the debt sustainability analysis to be conducted by the IMF at their next review 1/

Key Highlights..2/ 3. Interest Rates · The BoG policy rate and Interbank Borrowing rate have converged at 29% and 28.68% removing all arbitrage opportunities seen a year ago when policy rate was at 29.50% while interbank borrowed at 25.89%. · GoG treasury bill rates have seen an overall downward trajectory 4. Foreign Exchange · Year-to-date spot GHS depreciation at 14.60% compared to 21.70% a year ago. · Ghana expects to receive USD 2.3bn by end of year partly from the IMF relief package and other donor/developmental organizations. This is expected to boost overall central bank spot and forward interventions thus slowing the pace of depreciation. 5. External Sector Developments a. Total Exports · saw a year-on-year rise to USD 5.8bn as of Apr-24 compared to USD 5.6bn as of Apr-23 buoyed by greater proceeds in Gold and Oil exports from a combination of higher output and higher global prices. · on the downside, cocoa proceeds reduced by 67% to USD 599million as bad weather, disease and smuggling reduced Ghana’s output. · Cocoa output is expected to be below 40% of the initial target set for the 23/24 crop season – a phenomenon which could put this year’s annual cocoa syndicated loan at risk. · cocoa prices have risen by almost 140% year-on-year. · other non-traditional exports also saw a marginal decline at USD 981million from USD 1.04billion · The overall balance of Trade saw a positive balance of USD 744million still one-half lower than the USD 1.4billion as of Apr-23. b. Current Account · Remittance inflows rebounded strongly at USD 1.75bn as of Mar24 vs USD 1.2bn as of Mar23. Representing an average USD 500million per month and USD 19million per day. · Non-debt service on some selected external loans resulted in an overall current account surplus of USD 372million vs USD 629million in prior period. c. Capital Account · increased Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) flows and reversal of capital flight to safety resulted in an overall positive capital balance of USD 635million as of Mar24 vs a deficit of -USD 998million as of Mar23 Overall Balance of Payment · surplus of USD 84.7million, just the 2nd time in over 12months, resulting in an overall balance of payment surplus of +0.1% vs -0.8% in Mar23 International Reserves · Net International Reserves at USD 3.99billion from USD 2.2billion as of Apr-23 with a resulting 2 month import cover achieved.

This should provide some tailwinds for the new Debt sustainability analysis to be conducted by the IMF 8.
