  It's got nothing to do with "favorable market conditions"; it's about Ghana's rotten financial condition. Eurobond yields are at its lowest in history and it can not get any better. The problem is that Ghana is so highly leveraged and therefore considered very, very risky. The only reason Ghana can even borrow at this time is because yields are so low some investors will take a risk on a 10.75% Ghana bond than, say a 2.5% US bond. Economists call it risk aversion. That is besides the point. Ghana is now up to the neck in debt. At what point will this government learn to tell the truth and at what point are we going to say enough is more than enough?

  This should not be about party politics. It is a rolling problem that will confront any govt. The challenge for our nation is how to create money without such high borrowing costs. Bad financial advice.
