Ghana Eurobonds slide weighed by dollar strength

LONDON (Reuters) – Ghana’s dollar-denominated bonds were hit on Monday, as the dollar’s strength and fears of an economic downturn in China hit already-struggling frontier markets, including the West African country which has turned to the IMF amid soaring inflation.

Ghana’s Eurobond maturing in February 2027 fell more than 1.5 cents to a record low below 50 cents on the dollar, according to Tradeweb data.

The country’s bonds yield spreads to U.S. Treasuries rose to 1,998 basis points.
