The beauty of beautifully planned and developed communities
Ghana domestic bond market restructuring has led to these good dividends. And explosion in monies available to institutional investors to the tune of 30 billion dollars for channeling into these various investment vehicles on the real estate sector.
Mkenya2019: Anyone intelligent like this guy knew you were going bankrupt. Now you're still delusional. Investor will take years to forget and forgive - 50% haircut - is 15B dollars. If Ghana gov is able to borrow - it will be very short term loan (treasury bills) with very expensive interest rate - only few risk takers will taker it.
Bright Simons @BBSimons In 2021 Kenya will spend ~15% of govt income servicing debt. Ghana will spend ~45%. Kenya went for an IMF loan of $2.4bn to be disbursed over 3 yrs at a ~2% interest rate. Ghana just borrowed $3bn at an avg rate of 8%+. 200,000 Kenyans are protesting. Ghana is celebrating. 🤷🏽♂️
Ghana needed money to invest in high yielding portfolio and IMF money wasn't going to cut it.
Only poor countries like Kenya misinterpret their needs
vaxx: And it is also cheaper than neighbouring Togo and bourkina faso as well. It used to be the opposite last year. At least the Gold for oil deal idea is a valuable one
There's no gold for old... It was a negotiation strategy.
Mkenya2019: Ghana start repaying loan in 2026 or 2027....you will get market access next decade.
The terms of the new bonds include provision that upon maturity, the principal will be settled in instalments (2 instalments for the 2027 & 2029 bonds; 3 instalments for the 2023 bond & 5 instalments for the 2037 bond)
Ghana is already repaying loans as it creditors have confirmed .... Market access will be restored next year.
Ghana is too good a market to investors and they are rushing to have the opportunity to in a country that import 12 billion dollars worth of services and export 9 billion dollars worth of services.
rvp2018: You're delusional. After people have taken 50% losses; and have to wait untl 2037 to be repaid their principals. They will rush back and throw away their money.
Even a mad man like you will not lend to Ghana gov soon.
Ghana gov is locked out for 15yrs min from both domestic and external market.
That is why defaulting is TERRIBLE
govt will be allowed into the market next year and the investors who have lost money will be happy to make those monies back ... People like Blackrock, grayhorn and Franklin Templeton will all be will to invest largely
Mkenya2019: Nobody will be lending to Ghana is a LONG WHILE.
Ghana’s debt crisis is affecting companies beyond its borders.
South Africa’s four biggest banks (four of the continent’s five largest) plan to write off as much as $270 million of their investments in the West African nation’s bonds. That equates to a haircut of almost 60% in some cases.
Standard Chartered has set aside $160 million.
Firms in Nigeria and elsewhere will also have to take losses as the Ghanaian government works to restructure about $30 billion of its public debt. The costs to local lenders will only be known later.
They are just some of the losers from Ghana’s debt meltdown. S&P Global Ratings forecasts haircuts on foreign securities of as much as 50%.
The nation isn’t alone in Africa in facing a debt crunch — Zambia and Ethiopia are also in talks to revamp obligations. But the gold and oil producer’s fall from grace from one of the continent’s top investment destinations came as a shock.
Kenya can't afford to import food, can't afford to import fuel can't finance any infrastructure project, dollars shortages and etc It has to not borrow which means years of underdevelopment will continue for more years.
rvp2018: We are functioning country of course. Auditor general flagged the fines. Kenya and China differed on what debt relief meant. China insisted - we paid the fine - and continue to pay till now.
As late as this month - we just paid china 500M dollars.
Why would we default - and mess our country for 15yrs like Ghana
The lunatic is at it again
You already have messed your country up and been in default for 5 years already and need another 15 years to bring issues under control... That's the major reason why you runned to the IMF.
Ghana can never go bankrupt like Kenya ... And that is why we can self finance major infrastructure projects and are doing more . We may have strain and stretch our finances but will never go broke
Mkenya2019: Mad cow. Ghana military took over from 1962 to 2000. Kenya military has never never taken power. That is why your cities look shitty You own president HOLD NAIROBI PIC of 1980s as your 2050 north star SHAMEFUL
BEYOND AID GHANA in 2020s !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fckig holding Nairobi of 1980s as your country North STAR
rvp2018: How many doctors, engineers, lawyers and say accountant did you have at independence. Stop lying to yourself. Many african countries were not ready for independence. That is why longer it was delayed the better the prospect. Like South Africa.
We got independence way too early. Most african countries had zero african doctors or engineers at independence. In kenya if you had a diploma - they would even make you a minister.
We should have been rational. Yes give us independence. But also send us engineers and doctors or architect of a modern economy.
Ghana of course got bunch of idiots - they crushed the economy - by 1962 - cant pay army salaries - army send them away - and huge mess starts.
Go to South Sudan now - see the mess - apart from diaspora folks - country is teeming with illeterates
More than enough to make Ghana functional and even dash some to Kenya, Gabon, Gambia and etc.
You forgetting we had to leap frog your development by giving you experts.
Even with that firm foundation, you still became stupid and dumb hence the bankruptcy
Saddamochieng00: Why don't you call in to one of our local station and give your expert opinion cause you know so much about Kenyan politics. Might as well book a slot in one our local dailies while you're at it.
I'm not interested but it doesn't stop me from pointing it out to delusionals like you
Wuoche: Go lie idiots somewhere else. When Ruto became president maize flour was retailing at 110. Ruto has pushed it to 200+. Fuel was retailing at 149, Ruto has taken it 180.
Wuoche: They are demonstrating because of high cost of living. Ruto hasn't been able to do what he promised. The cost of commodities has gone up than anytime in Kenya. Ruto government is busy destroying the economy by making unlawful appointments and increasing expenditure. Things like these are idiotic move.
rvp2018: Kenya is not one crop country. Kenya export 295 different types of crops. Possibly highest in Africa.
How do you think kenya economy has been built without farming
We got no gold or oil
neither is Ghana and that is why our Agriculture export alone equate to Kenya total export. You feel me 🤣🤣
Looking at the hunger and food shortages in Kenya where by Kenya can't grow mere maize and rice which are big staples, this is enough data point to tell me that you guys ain't serious.
I know you don't know finance so let me teach you.
For them to be able to carry out all the development projects they are taking on for farmers, they need to borrow on their own balance sheet.
Their inflows is enough to pay off their debt. Finance expert are worried that they are taking on too much bold decision but after seeing first hand responses from their collection of data from farmers last year... They even need to do more and fast.
vaxx: maybe you will have to learn the meaning of bankruptcy , has cocoaboard being declared insolvent? Has cocoaboard tap into external loan for clearing of staff salary or goes into agreement with another industry for dollar shortage like your country is currently doing now .
You will stupidly need to learn what bankruptcy mean .
If any country is bankrupt is definitely kenya . There is currently shortage of dollars in your country . No forex cash . You are damn broke .
