Oniha said that government would rebalance its debt and international debt portfolio to 60:40 split in the coming years.<\/p>\n

She added that the government would also list some of the securities issued in the international capital market in 2017 on the NSE because of the role of the capital market in economic development.<\/p>\n

The director said funding of the budget deficit and refinancing the government\u2019s inherited debt portfolio had been the key drivers behind the capital raising plans.<\/p>
