The advice the professor is giving to the government is recommendable however, it will be prudent for the government to fall on local funding regardless of pending interest rate rather than borrowing money from external source like the IMF. We have to take our reputation and credit worthiness into consideration. T/Bills are internal source of funding to the government and if wisely use could yield returns for the country to move forward.

How could businesses benefit if individuals do not put their money in Treasury bills? Look at Cecilia Dapaa holding money at home. If this had been kept in t- bills the government could have used it to do something. Why should we borrow from outside and pay interests to foreigners? Bonds are huge sums.

You are just bookish intellectual. As far back year 1982 treasury Bill rate was about 9% for 91 days bill tenure. If now the rate in 2024 is 26% what are saying? Time value of money, policy rate, inflation, lending rate etc should be taken into consideration to do proper analysis. Are you suggesting that banks should beg their lending rate at 8%?

I know where your concern is coming from however, falling on T/Bills as funding means putting more money into the pockets of the citizenry, meaning more money to be spent internally which will have a multiplier effect to stimulate our economy. If we fall on IMF for loan, it will mean an increase in our external debt which will be so detrimental to our credit ratings internationally. Already our credit worthiness is dwindling, so is our reputation. Our country should not suffer any downgrading effect anymore, we should move forward and stop running to IMF to save us. IMF will rather sinks us.

The criminal enterprise came to steal, kill. Destroy before leaving. Ghanaians have deliberately closed our eyes waiting for miracle. By the time we open our eyes there will be no Ghana.

The problem is not funds to be borrowed from banks but the social fabric of most Ghanaian workers who don’t want to work hard and have a slogan of going to steal from those who employers

The comments suggest most Ghanaians don’t even know Ghana has local bonds which is like Tbills but low interest. It is this bonds that the government has refused to pay and introduced DDEP. It is the same as government saying “ I don’t have money so can’t pay Tbills owners again “. Bonds are normally low interest so for government to stop paying bonds and go for Tbills which is high interest is a worry.
