Ghana formally negotiates a debt restructure with its official lenders.

The reworking of its debt has been a long-standing issue for the gold and cocoa-producing country since it defaulted on most of its external borrowing in 2022.

But now it says all participating creditor countries have signed the deal.

It marks a strategic turning point for the country as it seeks to stabilize its economy and return to sustainable growth.

The ministry says the deal will provide significant debt-service relief over its International Monetary Fund loan program.

With 93 percent of the restructuring process complete, it remains to finalize negotiations over the remaining 7 percent, which is mainly with commercial creditors.






Negotiations must be finalized for the remaining 7% of the restructuring process, which is mostly with commercial creditors since 93% of it is already complete.



It claims to be in negotiations to restructure its remaining $2.7 billion in debts with 60 foreign banks.









The government is dedicated to expediting the process to finalize agreements with them, according to Forson.
