Ghana's President Awaits Court Ruling on Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill

The decision could impact $3.8 billion in World Bank funding and the country's economic recovery.

Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo has delayed signing the controversial anti-LGBTQ+ bill, awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling on its constitutionality.
The bill, passed by parliament, could lead to a loss of $3.8 billion in World Bank funding, impacting Ghana's economic recovery.
Human rights groups and international communities have condemned the bill, citing concerns over human rights and potential impacts on foreign aid and investment.
The finance ministry warns that the bill's enactment could derail a $3 billion IMF loan package, crucial for Ghana's debt restructuring and long-term stability.
The Supreme Court's decision is unlikely before the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections in December, where Akufo-Addo will step down after two terms.
