Ghana requested a restructuring of debt it owes to other governments earlier this month, becoming the fourth country to seek debt relief under a G20 Common Framework launched in 2020 by the major economic powers to streamline restructurings.

    Ghana's debt restructuring under the framework aims to include non-Paris Club creditors, such as China, which is the crisis-hit country's biggest bilateral creditor.
