flag Ghana restarts domestic bond sales after 3-year IMF-mandated ban, sparking debate over fiscal responsibility.

flag Ghana has resumed domestic bond issuance after a three-year ban tied to its IMF programme, prompting criticism from MP Dr. Tiah Abdul-Kabiru Mahama, who questioned the government’s fiscal discipline amid record spending. flag He argued the move contradicts promises to control debt and warned that an artificially strong cedi may distort the debt-to-GDP ratio. flag While Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson confirmed the end of borrowing restrictions, Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu defended the step, stating borrowing will be disciplined and directed toward productive investments. flag The government plans to use commitment controls and a new Value for Money Office to ensure spending accountability.
