The cash settlement removes maturity-specific default risk for the US$700m bond and should narrow spreads for that security. However, tightening in US Treasury yields and dollar strength can limit broader curve relief for Ghana’s external debt and could raise the cost of any new USD issuance even if this bond’s idiosyncratic risk is eliminated.
Monitor Ghana’s external debt schedule, any IMF programme reviews, and the government’s next external funding or issuance plans.
