The country’s total debt stock has now hit GHS200 billion as at the end of May 2019. 

This was contained in the Bank of Ghana’s summary of financial and economic data that reviewed the health of the economy. 

The new debt stock figure means that since May 2018 the total debt stock has gone up by some 45.9 billion cedis.

In two months or since the last time that the data was released in March, the total debt stock has gone up by some GHS2 billion. The GHS200 billion debt now represents about 58% of the total value of the economy or 58% of GDP.

Reasons for the debt stock increase?

The increase in the debt stock over the last two months can be attributed to the cedis’ marginal depreciation and recent funds advanced to clean up the banking and non-banking sectors of the economy.
