Information gathered by Citi Business News<\/strong> indicates that government has commenced meetings with local investors as it prepares to raise its first dollar denominated bond locally.<\/p>\n

The Finance Minister, Seth Terkper met the investors in Accra last Friday (September 16, 2016), to convince them invest in government\u2019s upcoming $100 million bond this month.<\/p>\n

The bond, if successful will be used to restructure maturing \u00a0debts as\u00a0 well as \u00a0infrastructure development.<\/p>\n

Early this month, government announced that it plans raising about GH\u00a225 billion\u00a0through bonds and treasury bills for the rest of year.<\/p>\n

The announcement was a revised issuance calendar indicating government\u2019s plan of borrow from August to December.<\/p>\n

The report showed that\u00a0about Gh\u00a224 billion\u00a0of the funds raised will be used to clear previous bonds issued\u00a0that are maturing, with the remaining going to support fresh commitments.<\/p>\n

As part of the plans, a three-year bond\u00a0will also be issued in November to raise GH\u00a2700 million while it hopes to issue its first 10-year local bond of GH\u00a2200 million.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile latest economic and financial data released by the Bank of Ghana indicates that the country\u2019s total debt stock has reached 109.8 billion cedis at the end of July 2016.<\/p>\n

According to the report, although the external component of the debts decreased from 60.7 billion cedis to 60.6 billion cedis between the six month period, the domestic component of the country\u2019s debt increased from 40.4 to 49.2 billion cedis from January to June.<\/p>\n
