The International Monetary Fund agreed to immediately disburse $360 million to Ghana, after the country reached a debt restructuring agreement with its official creditors.

The new tranche brings to $1.56 billion the West African nation has received from the Washington-based lender, since it signed on to the $3 billion three-year program in May 2023, the IMF said in a statement Friday following an executive board meeting.
