Ghana is considering selling bonds from China to Japan as the country prepares to issue as much as $2.5 billion in foreign-currency debt this year.
Last month, lawmakers in the West African nation gave approval for the Finance Ministry to proceed with a debt sale. Ghana will use $1 billion to help meet its 2018 budget and the remainder to refinance dollar bonds of as much as $1.5 billion should it be able to sell the securities at a cheaper rate.
