The Daily Graphic welcomes moves by the government to seek Parliamentary approval in raising up to 5 billion dollars in Eurobond issuance in 2021, to get the economy back on track as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rattle Ghana’s financial stability. The paper is hopeful that favorable market conditions will allow government to raise another 2 billion dollars in Eurobond, from the initially planned 3 billion dollars in issuance. It says if everything goes as planned, the bond issuance will be the largest Eurobond issued by Ghana since 2007.
The Ghanaian Times is happy vaccines have been discovered for the coronavirus and expresses the hope that the vaccines will conquer the virus and bring relief to the world before the situation gets worse. The Paper appeals to government through the law enforcement agencies to ensure that individuals and groups who flout the COVID-19 safety protocols are checked. It says reports of a new strain of the virus in parts of Africa should put Ghana on red alert otherwise the consequences may derail efforts being made to completely defeat the virus.
