NYC,
Jan 15–
When the IMF held its press
briefing on Jan 15, Inner City
Press was able to ask the
spokesperson two questions.
As submitted in
writing: On Ghana, what is the
IMF's response to former
Finance Minister Mohammed Amin
Adam saying that it is strange
that a supposed loss, as
claimed by the Bank of Ghana
Governor, was not reported to
the IMF by the central bank-
"why the IMF never highlighted
this in all its review reports
except the $214 million losses
in 2025 clearly shows BoG has
more questions than answers."
It was
pointed out losses were in the
IMF report; spokesperson Julie
Kozack after Inner City Press
asked by WebEx said that the
IMF's guidance is that the
losses be disclosed in the
overall budget, not in the
Central Bank's.
Inner City
Press asked for the IMF's
guidance on this, as submitted
in writing: "On Pakistan (and
crypto and the US), the
Pakistan VARA has entered into
an agreement with an
affiliated entity of WLFI, to
assess how its USD1 token
could be deployed for
cross-border payments. "The
MoU in Pakistan arrives at a
sensitive moment for WLFI... a
letter to Comptroller Gould,
urging him to halt its review
of WLFI's bank charter
application." What is the
IMF's view / comment on this
Pakistan crypto move?"
Guidance
was perhaps understandably not
provided during the briefing;
it may be provided after,
watch this site.
Previously spokesperson
Julie Kozack's
replies
included that
the timing on
Egypt hasn't
changed, that
a list of
countries in
governance
review will be
provided - and
it was, here,
including
Cameroon
and
that the US's
- and others'
- in put is
welcome,
including in
connection
with the
Bretton Woods
organizations'
80th birthday.

IMF's website.
