Feb 21 (Reuters) - Ratings agency Fitch on Tuesday
downgraded Ghana's long-term foreign-currency issuer default
rating to 'restricted default', after the country missed the
grace period to make a coupon payment on one of its eurobonds.
Ghana on Friday missed making the $40.6 million coupon
payment on its $1 billion 2026 eurobond, as part of the
suspension of payments on selected external debt that the
government announced in December last year, Fitch said.
