The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta on Monday delivered in Parliament the 2017 mid-year review budget.<\/p>\n

He touched on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Ghana\u2019s overall revenue performance over the period, debt stock and government\u2019s strategy to reduce the debt stock.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, government\u2019s medium term debt management strategy seeks to help government \u201cto lower borrowing cost, minimize the growth of short-term domestic debt and lengthen the maturity profile of domestic debt under the re-profiling programme.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe net result of this strategy should reduce the rollover\/refinancing risk and broaden the range of instruments offered in the domestic market. It is important to recognize that re-profiling does not add to public debt and it remains our expectation that this august House, especially, will be united in supporting Government efforts to re-profile a significant proportion of our national debt stock,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
