Economist Professor Godfred Bokpin says Ghana’s International Monetary Fund (IMF)-backed reforms have failed to deliver the expected structural improvement in domestic revenue collection. He has, therefore, recommended that the authorities improve tax administration, close loopholes in existing revenue handles, and expand the country’s tax net to the informal sector, while reducing reliance on volatile commodity revenues. Prof Bokpin explained that the domestic revenue performing below expectations, implied that reforms had not meaningfully strengthened the revenue base despite years of IMF-guided policy changes. Prof Bokpin raised concerns about regime changes that affected not only businesses but the country’s tax revenue, noting that any time the government changed, some businesses were classified as inactive until their party came to power. He cited the introduction of AI-powered customs reforms that have resulted in Customs revenue increasing by approximately 15%.
