  "account": "Investors are urging Ghana to return to global capital markets, citing economic improvement and stronger reserves. During IMF/World Bank meetings in Bangkok, investors expressed interest in raising funds via bonds and loans. Reasons for the push include Ghana's economic stability, Bank of Ghana's reserve build-up, and the potential of a Ghanaian Eurobond offering an 8% yield compared to the US's 5%. However, the government is taking a measured approach, with Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) Programme being prioritized first. The Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr Johnson Asiama, reiterated the central bank's commitment to maintaining monetary policy and low inflation, while the government focuses on improving credit ratings and stabilizing things for now. Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson emphasized that international borrowing is not a part of the government's financing plans for 2026. The IMF has also urged Ghana to rebuild investor confidence before returning to international capital markets.",
