GHS 50bn in gov’t bonds held by banks at end-September 2021

Government bonds and notes worth GHS 50.5 billion were held by banks in the country at the end of September 2021 according to the Central Securities Depository [CSD].

Long-tenor bonds (6yrs and above) constituted 34.2% of total securities.

A study conducted by Banking Consultants Dr. Richmond Akwasi Atuahene and K.B. Frimpong indicated that the estimated bondholders’ net present value losses could have a negative and significant impact on the financial and the real sectors of the economy.

“Given that Ghana’s financial system held large amounts of government debt (51.6% of the domestic debt stock), the expectation is that a collapse in confidence in government of Ghana’s solvency would lead to a large‐scale deposit runs and a credit crunch”.

However, the study revealed that, if the debt exchange is fully participated by all domestic bondholders, debt service relief from the debt exchange programme together with stronger fiscal consolidation efforts will assist the government in bringing debt on a sustainable path by 2028 to 55 percent debt to GDP.

Government on December 5, 2022, announced a debt exchange programme for domestic bondholders.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Finance announced that eligible domestic bonds and notes of GHS 137.3 billion will be split into four new amortizing bonds maturing in 2027 (17%), 2029 (17%), 2032 (25%) and 2037 (41%), paying equal step-up coupons of 0% in 2023, 5% in 2024 and 10% from 2025 onward to 2037.
