Finance Minister<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe Ministry of Finance has assured that the government is taking administrative steps to ensure payments of coupons and principals of old bonds resume by 13th March 2023.<\/p>\n
This is in fulfillment of the assurance given by the government to bondholders who did not tender, the Finance Ministry said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe newly issued bonds have been settled and listed and will become the new benchmark bonds for the fixed income market.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ministry of Finance will work with relevant stakeholders, as agreed, to ensure that these new benchmark securities become the basis for deepening the domestic sovereign bond market,\u201d the Finance Ministry stated in the statement.<\/p>\n
It added \u201cIn fulfillment of the assurance given by the government to bondholders who did not tender, the Ministry is taking administrative steps to ensure payments of coupons and principals of old bonds resume by 13th March 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ministry also said S&P Global Ratings which raised Ghana\u2019s local currency sovereign credit ratings from selective default (SD) to \u2018CCC+\/C\u2019, acknowledges the successful completion of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).<\/p>\n
It noted that \u201con Friday, 24th February 2023, S&P Global Ratings raised Ghana\u2019s local currency sovereign credit ratings from selective default (SD) to \u2018CCC+\/C\u2019. This acknowledges the completion of the DDEP with the successful delivery of new securities to bondholders. In doing so, the selective default is substantially cured\u201d.<\/p>\n
The above-stated milestone is further expected to accelerate the engagement with our external creditors. The government of Ghana also takes the opportunity to assure our external creditors of their equal importance to the Republic of Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will therefore continue to work together to advance the progress of our external debt treatment in order to ensure Ghana\u2019s long-term macroeconomic stability.<\/p>\n
