Ghana Should Have Asked DANGOTE For A Loan, Instead Of Crawling To The IMF by Quintopia: 9:10pm On Jul 05, 2022
These Ghanaian leaders don't have sense sha.

They've mismanaged their economy and have approached the IMF to bail them out.

The bailout package will be the usual 1 or 2 billion dollar loan, which will come with various conditionalities, such as wage freezes for civil servants and public employees, currency devaluation, and trade liberalization, ie opening their economy to western imports, (and killing local industries).

Instead of destroying their economy for a paltry 1 or 2 billion dollars, why didn't they just beg DANGOTE to loan them the money, and grant him favourable repayment deals and some extraordinary support for his businesses in Ghana?

That way they could have gotten back on their feet, and run their economy without interference from the west.

Even Otedola or someone else in Nigeria could have loaned them that money.

Anyway, it's their cup of tea. Good luck to them in their dealings with the IMF.

The Nigerian public will go mental if they hear the FG sent 2 billion dollars to Ghana. Not an option.

Dangote sef has cashflow challenge right now.

He's currently seeking a N300 billion loan to finish his own project.

He won't have Ghana's time.

cool



Dangote himself needs ₦300billion to finalise his refinery and have a working capital and he is sourcing for soft loans

Do you think a business man like Dangote would ever keep $1 billion USD dormant in liquidity sitting in his account

This billionaires invest all their spare cash and even borrow more to fund more projects and acquire more asset

Oh sorry, I get you now. But Dangote is already doing a massive job in Nigeria with the 20 billion dollar refinery he's building in Lagos that is set to transform the Nigerian economy. The other day he commissioned a 2.5 billion dollar fertilizer and urea plant, and Nigeria is now self sufficient in those items and is a net exporter of same.

If yes, then he has gone so far............

There is absolutely nothing wrong with borrowing money. Every country on Earth borrows money and is indebted. In fact, NOT borrowing is bad economics as it means you have no credit history, which scares away investors.

See how you are diverting from the topic. The topic is why did Ghana borrow money from IMF instead of borrowing the money from Dangote. I ask what about Nigeria that borrows money from other countries instead of borrowing money from Dangote. It seems you are drunk.

You have no brain. Do you even know what the IMF means?

IMF is the last, desperate resort for financial bailout when your economy is knackered, your credit rating as a country is shattered, and no country will lend you a dime.

Ghana cannot borrow from say China or another country because her economy is crashed, and she is a risk.

Nigeria can borrow from any nation because she has the financial muscle to repay and is backed by foreign reserves of around 40 billion dollars.

Try and understand how the financial system works before contributing your ignorance.

You are the one that totally lacks a functional brain. Keep fooling yourself thinking you are smart. I never talked about the condition given to Ghana by IMF. I never said anything that can suggest I do not know IMF. My point is those who blame Ghana for not borrowing from Dangote should also blame Nigeria because Nigeria also leaves Dangote and borrows from outside.

That someone needs an extra billion to complete a 20 billion dollar asset does not mean they are ''broke'' insofar as that asset remains theirs. You judge a person's financial strength by their net worth and assets, not by the available cash they are willing to spend on a project.

LOW IQ. That is the very first thing you should talk about. The conditions for an IMF loan. You are obviously very young so have no clue what the IMF is about, and their history of destroying nations.

You don't need to say anything. We can see you know nothing about them.

Does that ''outside'' include IMF?

If Nigeria wants to borrow money she can approach China or even the AFDB or World Bank, with more favourable terms than Dangote can give. GHANA can't do that because of her wrecked economy, plummeting currency and poor credit rating, which is why she's run to the IMF.

That is why we say that Dangote was a better option for them! Mumu no brain!

He's not actually ''looking for'' anything. He is just sitting in his office wondering which one of the 25 to 30 ready sources of finance he should approach, ANY OF WHICH will beg him to take their money.

When you have a net worth of 15 to 20 billion dollars, you tend not to have a hard time borrowing an extra billion to fund a project.

IMF gave out loans to certain nations including Nigeria, to manage the 'covid crisis'. Those loans did not come with the infamous IMF conditionalities.

What Ghana is seeking is a BAILOUT LOAN which is very different, and whose conditionalities are designed to tie a nation's economy into further dependence on western imports, and crush local economic and industrial development..

PHEW!!

Unschooled, ignorant illiterate. When IBB was seeking IMF funds which led to the SAP in Nigeria, your father was still sucking breast, so it is no surprise you are a dunce with no knowledge about the IMF.
