$1.13bn Cocoa Syndicated Loan: First tranche expected to hit BoG account today

The first tranche of the $1.13 billion cocoa syndicated loan is expected to hit the account of the Bank of Ghana today, October 26, 2022.

Sources indicate that about $790 million is expected to come in from the consortium of banks.

The $790m forex to be received by the BoG, is expected to bolster the cedi and shore up its value against the US dollar.

The funds which will be used to finance purchases of cocoa beans will also boost the country’s Balance of Payment (BoP).

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, on Tuesday confirmed the inflows of the cocoa syndicated loan at a stakeholder meeting with business associations and President Akufo-Addo.

The second tranche of about $340 million, which would be spread over three months will come in between November 2022 and February 2023.
