[snap]: Ghana raises $750m, but pays a premium | beyondbrics:
"It’s a sign of the times. Ghana on Thursday raised $750m from the sale of 10-year eurobonds, but the deal did not come easy.
With investors more cautious about lending to frontier countries with shaky finances following June’s violent market rout, Ghana had to pay a premium to get the deal off the ground.
At 8 per cent, the yield that Ghana is paying to borrow is at a level that has not been seen in the EM hard currency bond market for a while now. It is sharply higher than the 6.625 per cent Nigeria paid for its 10-year bonds earlier this month. At the height of the EM bond buying frenzy in April, Rwanda, the central African state is best-known for a civil war and genocide in 1994, paid only 6.875 per cent for its maiden $400m 10-year issue."
