Government has lifted restrictions on domestic bond issuance that were introduced as part of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), three years after their implementation.
The move is expected to restore full activity on the domestic bond market and strengthen investor participation in Government securities.

The restrictions were put in place in 2022 during the rollout of the DDEP to support debt restructuring efforts aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and ensuring debt sustainability.
A statement from the Ministry of Finance said the decision to lift the restrictions follows improved macroeconomic indicators, progress in fiscal consolidation, and renewed confidence in the financial sector.
According to the Ministry, the removal of the limitations will enable Government to resume normal issuance of domestic bonds, enhance liquidity in the secondary market, and provide institutional and individual investors with broader investment opportunities.
Market analysts say the development signals growing stability in Ghana’s fiscal environment and could support efforts to deepen the domestic capital market.
Government reaffirmed its commitment to prudent fiscal management, transparency, and sustained engagement with stakeholders to safeguard the gains made under the debt restructuring programme.
