Quick Glance: Ghana Fails to Reach Debt Agreement with Bondholders
- Ghana was unable to reach an agreement with a group of international bondholders to restructure $13 billion in debt. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the bondholder group rejected parts of the proposed plan.
- The IMF argued that the agreement was not aligned with a debt analysis that determines a country's capacity for debt. The bondholder group, among other things, declined the option to maintain the original value of the bond with a longer term and lower interest rate.
- In December 2022, Ghana, the world's second-largest cocoa producer, defaulted on a majority of its $30 billion external debt, following a surge in debt costs and inflation as it was cut off from international markets.
- The failure of the debt agreement represents a setback for Ghana's efforts to recover from default and economic crisis.
