Ghana outlook raised to positive by Moody’s Ratings, rating affirmed at Caa1Moody’s Ratings has upgraded Ghana’s outlook from stable to positive while affirming its long-term sovereign rating at Caa1, pointing to improving domestic financing conditions and a gradual easing of debt pressures. The shift to a positive outlook reflects declining borrowing costs, supported by monetary easing and stronger fiscal discipline. Inflation has slowed sharply, reaching around 3.2% in March 2026, giving the Bank of Ghana room to cut interest rates. The Caa1 rating remains constrained by structural weaknesses, including limited financing options, a narrow revenue base, and a heavy reliance on short-term domestic borrowing. Overall, Moody’s sees Ghana on a path toward gradual stabilization, but stresses that sustaining improved financing conditions and maintaining fiscal discipline will be key to any future rating upgrade.
