By Christine Van Dusen

Atlanta, Sept. 11 – Ghana set talk in the 8½% area for a dollar-denominated offering of benchmark-sized amortizing bonds due 2026 that are expected to price on Thursday, a market source said.

Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered Bank are the bookrunners for the Rule 144A and Regulation S deal.

The proposed bond will be Ghana’s third international placement since its $750 million debut bond in September 2007 and a $750 million bond issued in July 2013.

Proceeds will be used primarily for government capital expenditures, with the rest used to repay outstanding short-term domestic debt.
