The Government of Ghana has successfully settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its scheduled due date, underscoring its commitment to responsible debt management and the restoration of macroeconomic stability.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, the payment was completed on Thursday, July 2, 2026, and consisted of US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments.
The Ministry described the transaction as another significant milestone in the country’s debt management strategy and efforts to rebuild investor confidence.
According to the Ministry, the latest payment increases the total amount disbursed to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion.
The payments have been made in accordance with the terms of Ghana’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme, which was introduced as part of the country’s broader debt restructuring initiative.
The Ministry stressed that the settlement was financed through the Government’s planned financing arrangements, ensuring that the payment did not place undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves. It said the approach reflects careful fiscal planning aimed at meeting external debt obligations while preserving the country’s financial stability.
Officials noted that the early settlement contributes to reducing Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond liabilities and sends a strong signal to international investors about the Government’s commitment to honouring its financial obligations.
The Ministry said such actions are expected to strengthen market confidence and support the country’s ongoing economic recovery.
The statement further indicated that prudent public debt management remains a key pillar of the Government’s economic agenda. By meeting its debt commitments on time—and, in this case, ahead of schedule—the Government aims to reinforce confidence among investors, development partners, and other stakeholders in Ghana’s economic management.
The Ministry reaffirmed its dedication to implementing sound public financial management policies to ensure the timely servicing of all debt obligations.
It added that maintaining fiscal discipline and strengthening debt sustainability will continue to be central to efforts aimed at safeguarding macroeconomic stability and creating a more resilient economy.
Expressing gratitude to citizens, the Ministry thanked the people of Ghana for their continued patience, support, and confidence during the implementation of economic recovery measures.
It noted that the Government remains focused on policies that will restore economic stability, promote sustainable growth, and improve the country’s long-term financial outlook while fulfilling its obligations to both domestic and international creditors.
