Ghana's Finance Minister is planning a trip to China to discuss the country's debt.

Ghana's Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, left Accra for China to meet with Chinese officials about debt restructuring. According to sources, the Minister spent the weekend in Addis Abeba attending the UNECA High-Level Ministers Meeting on Global Financial Architecture. Following that meeting, Mr. Ofori-Atta is expected to travel to China, possibly on March 22, 2023. The Minister leading the government delegation is expected to pursue bilateral discussions with China in addition to requesting financial guarantees for Ghana's program with the International Monetary Fund. The trip was postponed to the end of March due to a scheduling conflict with the National People's Congress of China meeting in early March 2023.
