Ghana's bondholders to re-engage government next week on debt rework

Ghana and its bondholders will restart talks next week to hash out a debt restructuring deal on $13 billion of international bonds, four sources told Reuters, on the heels of a deal finalised with official creditors earlier this week. Ghana, a gold and cocoa producer, defaulted on most of its $30 billion in external debt in 2022, weighed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and rapid global interest rate hikes that boosted borrowing costs. It had kicked off formal talks with two groups of bondholders in mid-March - a group of Western asset managers and hedge funds and another one including regional African banks.
