The Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) has disclosed that government on January 13, 2020, finalised all payments in respect of the BDC legacy debts.
The debts were accrued over from July 2011 to June 2015 with interest capped in March 2018.

The BDC Legacy Debt
The BDC legacy debt comprised Forex Loss Under-Recovery (FLUR) which is the loss incurred by BDCs as a result of the differentials between the GHS/USD forex rates set by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) for pump prices and the rates at which FX rates were supplied by the Bank of Ghana on behalf of government.
According to the Chamber, a total of $806.25mn was incurred by government from July 2011 to June 2015.
