The Government of Ghana has settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, marking another milestone in the country’s post-restructuring debt servicing programme and reinforcing its commitment to prudent fiscal management.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, the payment was completed on Thursday, July 2, and comprised US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments. The settlement was made before the due date through the government’s planned financing arrangements, without placing undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves.
The latest payment brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion under the terms of the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme, reflecting the government’s continued adherence to commitments made under the country’s external debt restructuring framework.
The Ministry said the early settlement further reduces Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt while “strengthening investor confidence” and demonstrating the government’s commitment to “prudent debt management” and macroeconomic stability..
The payment follows a series of scheduled debt service obligations that the government has honoured since the completion of Ghana’s Eurobond restructuring, a process designed to restore debt sustainability and normalise relations with international creditors. Previous settlements have similarly been made ahead of schedule as part of the country’s broader debt management strategy.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining “sound public financial management practices” to ensure the timely servicing of Ghana’s debt obligations while supporting broader macroeconomic stability.
It also expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their continued patience, support and confidence as the government advances its fiscal consolidation and economic recovery agenda.
