A technical committee will be formed to ensure continuous engagement with all stakeholders involved in the controversial domestic debt exchange programme the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta has disclosed.
The Minister said this after he had engaged with leaders of individual bondholder groups and other stakeholders at the Finance Ministry on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
The meeting was held to help both parties address issues relating to the Debt Exchange Programme.
The individual bondholders have requested to be exempted from the programme.
Addressing the media after the meeting, Mr Ofori-Atta said “The engagement will be continued to make sure that we all understand where we are and what we have to do to go forward and as we indicated, get on a common path as we mentioned.
“A technical committee will be set up and will consist of two members from the individual bondholders’ forum, and we will have our first meeting on January 19, 2023.”
“The urgency is important, and we must signal to the country that we can indeed circle the wagons and work within our limitations to ensure that we all come out of this successfully,” he added.
