DDE: Gov’t continues to swap old bonds for new ones despite programme end date

The recent reports indicating that the Government is still swapping old bonds for new ones under its domestic debt exchange programme, even though the programme came to an end on February 10, 2023, has raised concerns among market participants.

It has been reported that investors have tendered in some GHS 4.9bn in bonds to be included in the debt exchange programme, raising the overall tendered bonds to over GHS 87.8bn from the previous amount of GHS 82.9bn.

While the tendering of old bonds for new ones under the debt exchange programme is a positive development for the government, as it will help reduce the country’s debt burden, it raises questions about transparency in the whole process.

The lack of transparency in the debt exchange programme is a cause for concern, as it undermines investor confidence in the government’s ability to manage its debt. Transparency is essential in the financial markets, and investors need to have confidence that the government is acting in their best interest.

The lack of transparency in the debt exchange programme may create anxiety within the market and undermine confidence in the government’s ability to manage its debt.

The Government has not indicated which investors are taking up the new bonds and what government debt instruments they are exchanging for these new bonds. This lack of transparency creates uncertainty and may result in investors questioning the motives of the Government.

It is, therefore, imperative that the government clarifies the process and provides detailed information on the investors taking up the new bonds and the debt instruments they are exchanging for the new bonds.

The Government’s ability to manage its debt has significant implications for the country’s economic growth and development. The lack of transparency in the debt exchange programme may affect investor confidence in the country’s economic prospects, which may lead to higher borrowing costs for the Government in the future. This, in turn, may have a negative impact on the country’s economic growth and development.

The importance of transparency in debt management cannot be overemphasized. It is crucial for the government to maintain transparency in all its debt management operations, including the debt exchange programme. This will help to instill confidence in investors and market participants, which is critical for the success of the country’s debt management strategy.

The lack of transparency in the debt exchange programme is a cause for concern, and the Government needs to be more transparent about the process. The Government must provide detailed information on the investors taking up the new bonds and the debt instruments they are exchanging for the new bonds.

The government’s ability to manage its debt has significant implications for the country’s economic growth and development, and maintaining transparency in all its debt management operations is critical for success.
