    NEWGhana not returning to bond market despite GHS 8.5 billion early debt settlement

    Ghana’s early debt settlements, totalling GHS 8.5 billion, including a recent GHS 2.5 billion payment, do not signal an immediate return to the international bond market. Dr. Theo Acheampong, Technical Advisor to the Finance Minister, stated that these payments aim to reduce future debt costs and show Ghana's commitment to its financial obligations, utilising favourable market conditions. The government has cleared all GHS 18.9 billion in Eurobond payments expected for 2026, aiming to reassure investors, but any re-entry to the market will depend on broader economic conditions.

    NEWAccra flood risk normalisation endangers communities, infrastructure

    JoyNews journalist Jacqueline Ansomah Yeboah highlighted how the normalisation of flood risk in Accra increases vulnerability. Residents often settle in low-lying areas, ignoring clear geographical indicators. This creates a disconnect between environmental reality and daily decisions, leading to a "delayed awareness" cycle where destruction is only acknowledged after severe rainfall. The lack of recent major floods diminishes perceived danger, exposing households and infrastructure to significant risk.
