Government has been forced to scrap the 5th Eurobond sale due to the reaction of international investors which has vindicated Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, Vice Presidential candidate the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who in May, this year advised authorities against the move.
In the course of his presentation, he bemoaned government’s reckless borrowing which had increased Ghana’s debt from GH¢9.5 billion in 2008 to GH¢105.1 billion.
He also pointed out that poor debt management was one of the causes of unemployment because it had imposed a high interest burden on the economy and depleted huge financial resources that could have been used to create jobs to reduce unemployment.
Furthermore, he said the resulting high interest rates had reduced investment, crowded out the private sector and resulted in a steep decline in economic growth.
However, his statements were strongly condemned by government officials.
Analysts raised concerns about the high interest rates investors were demanding for Ghana’s bonds despite a general fall in the rates of other bonds issued by other countries in sub-region.
Celeste Fauconnier, Nema Ramkhelawan-Bhana and Neville Mandimika, analysts at Johannesburg-based RMB, told Bloomberg on Tuesday that the cost of floating the bond looked prohibitively expensive while the risk of debt distress remained high.
“We do not believe the faith in the market is strong enough to prevent an expensive transaction,” they said.
“It’s not an entire surprise,” Nicolas Jaquier, an emerging-markets economist at Standard Life Investments Ltd in London, said by phone.
“It is 30 percent pricing and 70 percent bad timing,” said Richard Segal, an analyst at Manulife Asset Management, who attended an investor meeting on Monday.
Ghana’s IMF Programme is currently under the spotlight after the failure of the Fund to present the third review to the IMF Board and the government’s decision to reject a proposal to enact a zero Central Bank financing law.
Parliament recently passed the Bank of Ghana (Amendment) Bill, 2016 into law which now mandates the government to borrow 5 percent of revenue generated in the previous fiscal year instead of the 10 percent.
Whatever your feelings are toward the New England Patriots, you’ve got to hand it to them. A lot of people think they have cheated on their way to all those Super Bowls. Spygate and Deflategate are still fresh in a lot of people’s minds. Then there is the adage that fans get tired of seeing the same team win again and again. Unless they are your favorite team, most folks want to see a different team once in a while. Any other team.But you have to give the Patriots credit. Getting to the Super Bowl is difficult. Getting there 8 times in 16 years is incredible. That is the case for the Tom Brady Bill Billichick duo. The star QB and the hoodie are headed to yet another Super Bowl with a chance to go back to back. It’s not hard to recall the stirring comeback against the Atlanta Falcons last year.
One has to wonder though if this is not the end of the line. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is reportedly headed to the Indianapolis Colts for their vacant head coaching position. Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is leaving for the Motor City as he will take the helm of the Detroit Lions. Then there is the rumblings of the top man Bill Belichick leaning towards retirement. You can’t really blame him. What more does he have to prove?
That leaves Tom Brady. The 40 year old says he would like to play for another 5 years. After watching another MVP type season out of the ageless one, don’t bet that he couldn’t play several more years at the same level, even though most of us mortal human beings have already lost our abilities athletically by the time we reached our fourth decade.
So it begs the question: “Is this the last hurrah for Brady, Belichick and company? If the Patriots win this Super Bowl, the chance to go out on top and more significantly on your own terms would never be greater. So what will happen? Here’s my take.
Patricia is gone as is McDaniels. They may feel like it’s time to move on. More likely they are being presented with a chance to be a head coach in the NFL. Those opportunities are indeed rare, but they may know more than we do. For example, they may have already been told that Belichick is retiring and getting out of Dodge may seem like a good idea.
That leaves Brady. If Tom’s former model wife has her way, he would stop playing NOW! She would like to see him healthy twenty years from now. Continuing to play would jeopardize that hope. He may bow to her wishes. He may not. Athletes find it hard to step away from a sport that they have dedicated their entire lives to.
The view from my seat suggests that Bill Belichick will retire. Tom Brady will keep playing – one year, maybe two – and then he will step aside to go down as one of the best QB’s to play the game. The Belichick/Brady Era will come to an end eventually. Then we will have to agree on one thing. It was awfully impressive.
Congress has pushed Equifax to detail every type of data hackers stole from the company and the numbers of consumers affected. It's not pretty.
Equifax has revealed new information about the extent of the cybersecurity breach it announced in September.
In response to a congressional inquiry, the credit-reporting agency provided federal lawmakers with estimates for the number of U.S. consumers affected by the data breach.
Additionally, hackers accessed images that about 182,000 U.S. consumers had uploaded to Equifax’s online dispute portal. Some images included government-issued identification.
Equifax’s statement to Congress is publicly accessible via the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC requires publicly traded companies to report “major events that shareholders should know about” on what’s known as a Form 8-K. Equifax’s Form 8-K regarding its congressional statement is also publicly available, albeit written in the same sterile language as the statement.
Equifax’s congressional statement and event report note that hackers stole data from multiple Equifax database tables. Equifax worked with a cybersecurity firm, Mandiant, to determine the extent of the breach for Congress.
The statement and report also note — repeatedly — that the information above does not represent additional stolen data and does not impact additional consumers.
Additionally, the documents state that Equifax has already notified affected consumers as the law requires.
This latest chapter in the Equifax cybersecurity breach saga reveals a new — and fear-inspiring — level of detail about the extent of the hacking. But it changes little for consumers.
If you don’t already know whether the breach impacted you, you can find out by visiting Equifax’s dedicated “Cybersecurity Incident” website and clicking on the red “Am I Impacted?” button — assuming you’re willing to trust the company with your last name and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

If you're wary of cooking with shellfish, then this dish is a perfect place to start. High in protein but low in calories, shrimp is a healthful option for a seafood-loving bunch. This play on the comforting flavors of traditional scampi takes the gluten and pasta out of the equation and offers a tasty Fall vegetable in its place: the spaghetti squash. I loved the crunchy texture of the bed of squash against the softness of the simple roasted shrimp. Cooking the squash requires an hour, but everything else comes together in a flash.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Season the squash with salt and pepper. Place cut side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add 3/4 cup water, and roast until tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes. Let cool.
When about 25 minutes have passed, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Scoop out the seeds from the squash and discard. With a fork, scrape the flesh into a large bowl. Add the shrimp and any cooking juices, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon oil; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, top with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

A group of 38 male evacuees from besieged parts of the Syrian city of Homs were released Friday after investigation, leaving almost 200 others still being held, the provincial governor said.
The United Nations said earlier this week that some 380 male evacuees were still being held in processing centres, though it said some had been cleared for release but not yet left.
Beginning February 7, the United Nations and Red Crescent evacuated some 1,400 people trapped in besieged parts of Homs for more than 18 months as the Syrian regime battles rebels across the country.
The UN has said it is focusing on the processing of male evacuees before any additional evacuation or aid distribution operations resume.
Why does Charles Darwin eclipse Alfred Russel Wallace?
He jointly came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection, corresponded with the great and good of society, and was given the highest honour possible from a British monarch.
His correspondents included David Lloyd George, William Gladstone, Rudyard Kipling, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Conan Doyle.
And on his death 100 years ago, obituaries were effusive in their praise, calling him the last of the great Victorians.
You would be forgiven for the name Charles Darwin popping into your head - but you would be wrong.
The theory of evolution by natural selection was published jointly between Darwin and Monmouthshire-born Alfred Russel Wallace, whose interest in natural history developed when he moved to Neath and worked as a land surveyor with his brother.
But while today Darwin is a household name synonymous with the theory, Wallace struggles to gain anywhere near the recognition of his friend.
This is illustrated by an appeal this year to raise funds for a life-sized bronze statue to honour Wallace - it only reached half of its £50,000 target.
Wallace expert Dr George Beccaloni, who is a curator at the Natural History Museum where the statue would stand, said: "We have enough money to pay for a torso and arms at the moment.
"There are hundreds of Darwin statues and busts but there's not even a bust of Wallace.
"There's a side-profile roundel on the wall at Westminster Abbey - not far from Darwin's grave. There's not a lot else."
Interestingly, Wallace was not overlooked during his lifetime and was awarded the Order of Merit, the highest honour that could be given by the British monarch to a civilian.
His correspondents included some of the most significant politicians in recent British history, and celebrated authors and poets.
"He was extremely famous and possibly the most famous scientist and one of the most famous people in the world when he died (in 1913)," said Dr Beccaloni.
"There were very long, glowing obituaries in all the world's papers from Bombay to Boston saying he was the last of the great Victorians.
"One of the papers said only a great ruler would have had the sort of level of obituary recognition as Wallace."
He said Darwin was more famous but died many years before Wallace leaving Wallace to go on and become "the most famous living biologist in Britain".
So where did it go wrong for Wallace's reputation?
Prof Jim Costa, director of a biological research station in North Carolina, USA, and an expert on both men, says part of the problem appears to be that Wallace failed to promote his role in formulating the theory as effectively as Darwin.
While they had jointly published the theory of evolution by natural selection in a paper in August 1858, it was Darwin's On the Origin of Species the very next year that truly grabbed the public's imagination.
Even one of Wallace's own books appeared to pass on the credit for the discovery. It was called 'Darwinism: An Exposition of the Theory of Natural Selection with Some of Its Applications'!
Prof Costa said another factor was what became known as the "eclipse of Darwinism", when natural selection fell out of favour in the late 19th Century.
By the time it was revived in the 1930s, neither man was around and the world was a very different place.
"I think when this idea was resurrected in 1930 there was a new generation and they very much had Darwin on their minds," said Prof Costa.

Interestingly, Wallace was not overlooked during his lifetime and was awarded the Order of Merit, the highest honour that could be given by the British monarch to a civilian.

His correspondents included some of the most significant politicians in recent British history, and celebrated authors and poets.

"He was extremely famous and possibly the most famous scientist and one of the most famous people in the world when he died (in 1913)," said Dr Beccaloni.

"There were very long, glowing obituaries in all the world's papers from Bombay to Boston saying he was the last of the great Victorians.

"One of the papers said only a great ruler would have had the sort of level of obituary recognition as Wallace."

He said Darwin was more famous but died many years before Wallace leaving Wallace to go on and become "the most famous living biologist in Britain".

So where did it go wrong for Wallace's reputation?

Prof Jim Costa, director of a biological research station in North Carolina, USA, and an expert on both men, says part of the problem appears to be that Wallace failed to promote his role in formulating the theory as effectively as Darwin.

While they had jointly published the theory of evolution by natural selection in a paper in August 1858, it was Darwin's On the Origin of Species the very next year that truly grabbed the public's imagination.

Even one of Wallace's own books appeared to pass on the credit for the discovery. It was called 'Darwinism: An Exposition of the Theory of Natural Selection with Some of Its Applications'!

Prof Costa said another factor was what became known as the "eclipse of Darwinism", when natural selection fell out of favour in the late 19th Century.

By the time it was revived in the 1930s, neither man was around and the world was a very different place.

"I think when this idea was resurrected in 1930 there was a new generation and they very much had Darwin on their minds," said Prof Costa.
