Government has raised 438 million cedis ($110 million) worth of bids for its first 10-year domestic bond issued today at a cost of 19 percent.<\/p>\n

The bond which will mature in 2026 was also opened to foreign investors.<\/p>\n

Citi Business News has gathered that the bond drew bids of\u00a0 726 million cedis, far more than the initial 200 million cedi targeted by government.<\/p>\n

By this, the bond was oversubscribed by \u00a0over 200 percent.<\/p>\n

The arrangers were Barclays Bank, Stanbic Bank Ghana as well as brokerage firm Strategic African Securities.<\/p>\n

Government announced that the proceeds will be used to retire maturing debt as well as invest in infrastructure development.<\/p>\n

Finance Minister Seth Terkper had earlier told Citi Business News<\/strong> the move was aimed at issuing long term security to help manage the debt stock.<\/p>\n

As at May 2016, total public debt was 63 percent of Gross Domestic Product \u00a0and is expected to rise to around 70 percent by the end of the year on planned expenditure.<\/p>\n
