Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister of Ghana, is urging bondholders to continue their sacrifices as the government strives to settle all outstanding debts owed to them.
Despite ongoing challenges, Ofori-Atta emphasizes that the economy is regaining confidence. However, liquidity remains a pressing issue, necessitating patience from bondholders.
Ofori-Atta’s comments come in response to Individual Bondholders’ decision to suspend their planned protest at the Ministry of Finance after receiving some payments.
He acknowledges the arduous journey the country has faced, noting the uncertainty that plagued Ghana as of July of the previous year.
While significant efforts have been made to secure fund approval in May 2023, Ofori-Atta stresses the importance of continued sacrifices due to the liquidity constraints.
He advocates for national unity during this period of rebuilding and emphasizes the need for stability.
