The Finance Minister, Seth Terkper says he is hopeful Ghana will attract the best interest rate for the country\u2019s 2016 Eurobond.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”NNea7yeuq5UdEbBM7XbMQBnaMvzRn2XK”]According to him, recent developments in inflation and the coming on board of the Tweneboah Enyenera Ntomme (TEN) oil fields will prompt investors to offer interest rates corresponding to the market conditions.<\/p>\n
Seth Terkper\u2019s comments come barely a week after he reiterated the ministry\u2019s position that it has not abandoned<\/a><\/strong><\/span> its decision on the 2016 Eurobond.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have been borne out unless for some major events, at the time we started the road show, our 2023 bond which we issued at 2013, was priced at 10.5 interest rate but today it is at 9.4 percent,<\/p>\n \u201cThis means that the news about the first quarter inflation performance of this year, the growth figures and the fact that TEN is no longer a prospect story, are all beginning to show that there is something for real and we hope that these would help the process and at the appropriate time, we can go in with the investors and price,\u201d he told journalists in Accra.<\/p>\n
