It follows the government’s resolution of the original commercial paper, also known as bond.
The government on Tuesday released a total of GHS3.56 billion to settle the remaining depositor claims of the institutions of the 347 defunct Microfinance companies, 23 Savings and Loans and Finance Houses.
