Ghana will issue its first local-currency bond since defaulting on debt in 2022, marking a key step toward regaining market access and stabilizing finances. The seven-year cedi-denominated bond sale begins March 30, with pricing guidance released first and the auction closing April 1, per bond bookrunners. Proceeds will fund the national budget, addressing fiscal gaps exacerbated by the 2022 default and subsequent economic challenges. This return to domestic markets follows Ghana’s ongoing debt restructuring efforts, including a $3 billion IMF bailout approved in 2023. The bond’s success may signal renewed investor confidence in Ghana’s economic recovery and debt management strategy.
