Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Ghana does not intend to sell a second eurobond this year after obtaining a $3 billion loan from China Development Bank Corp., Business and Financial Times reported.

The government is interested in issuing eurobonds after 2012 to create a new benchmark and strengthen its presence on the market, the Accra-based newspaper said, citing Fifi Kwetey, deputy minister of finance and economic planning. Ghana sold $750 million of eurobonds in 2007.
