reuters.com/markets/ghana-fails-reach-debt-deal-with-bondholders-2024-04-15/
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.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-04/why-g20-common-framework-for-debt-relief-isn-t-helping-poor-nations
Quick Glance: Why G20 'Common Framework' for Debt Relief Is Ineffective for Poor Nations
- Over half of the world's low-income countries face high debt distress or default, despite the 2020 agreement among the 20 largest economies for easier loan restructuring. Progress in actual relief has been slow, partly due to disagreements between wealthy nations and China as a major creditor.
- By the end of 2022, the poorest countries collectively owed their creditors approximately $1.1 trillion, surpassing the 2012 debt level. The financial strain from the Covid-19 crisis forced heavily indebted governments to allocate funds they lacked to fortify healthcare systems and assist citizens.
- Major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, raised interest rates to counter inflationary pressures arising from escalating grain and fuel prices following the Ukraine conflict. The resulting appreciation of the dollar exacerbated the situation for international borrowers.
- In March, Zambia successfully concluded negotiations for $3 billion in eurobonds after three years, illustrating some progress but highlighting the arduous nature of the process. Notably, several countries, including Zambia, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Lebanon, and Argentina, are grappling with defaults or severe debt distress.
