Fitch Ratings has expressed optimism that Ghana will complete the non-bond debt restructuring by the close of this year, as disclosed during a recent webinar on debt restructuring in Ghana, Zambia, and Ethiopia.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe credit rating agency has projected Ghana\u2019s exit from sovereign default by July 2025, based on expectations of the country finalizing its external debt restructuring by the end of June 2025.<\/p>\n
Thomas Garreau, Associate Director of Europe, Middle East, and Africa Sovereign Ratings at Fitch, remarked, \u201cFor Ghana, we also expect the completion of the common framework restructuring by the first half of next year. There are some elections, and that would delay the completion of the process, hence our forecast of next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghana reached an agreement with the Official Creditor Committee (OCC) on the parameters for official debt treatment in January 2024, followed by the completion of a Eurobond exchange in October 2024.<\/p>\n
The restructuring process has so far covered approximately $14.2 billion in Eurobonds, including Principal Debt Instruments (PDIs), with the associated haircut amounting to 6.2% of the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n
Fitch\u2019s forecast aligns with Ghana\u2019s ongoing efforts to stabilize its economy, even as the country navigates the complexities of election-year dynamics in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
