AI insight
AI-generatedGhana's energy sector debt overhang creates a regulatory and financial squeeze on the entire power value chain.

This is a country-specific regulatory/fiscal risk for Ghana's energy sector, with potential spillover to international creditors and institutions involved in the debt restructuring.
