Spot on @Bernards... Glad to see people who appreciate the real facts of the matter and rise above the unbridled sensationalism that has characterized most of the recent discussions.
This lady is obviously not prepared to listen or understand. Before government started IMF negotiations they had stakeholders meetings with the finance sector. That is even before the DDEP was announced. And even after they announced it they continued to engage with all stakeholders. But as usual Ghanaians, like to procrastinate. We have seen this with the sim registration exercise. People are talking about these individual bond holders as though they're poor people who put all their saving into bonds and now have nothing to eat. Lets be serious, they had the option to invest in treasury bills at 12-15% and they decided to go for higher returns in Bonds which are long term investments and carry a bit more risk. All they have been told is that their returns will be lower than projected, maturity will be extended but their principle will not be touched. These conditions were even optional. So what's the problem? I'm sure 80% of the general population didn't even know what bonds were until this DDEP. This is a case of upper middle class crying because their investments won't yield as much as they hoped.
