The Government of Ghana has fully settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the payment was completed on Thursday, July 2, 2026, and comprised US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments.
The latest settlement brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders to US$2.1 billion since January 2025, in line with the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
The Ministry said the repayment was executed through the government’s planned financing arrangements and did not place undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves.
“The payment was made through the Government’s planned financing arrangements without undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves,” the Ministry said in a statement.
The government believes the repayment will further reduce Ghana’s outstanding external debt burden while strengthening investor confidence in the country’s ongoing fiscal and macroeconomic reforms.
The Ministry noted that meeting the obligation ahead of schedule underscores government’s commitment to maintaining prudent public debt management practices and preserving macroeconomic stability as Ghana continues to implement its economic recovery programme.
The latest payment comes as Ghana seeks to restore confidence among international investors following the successful completion of its external debt restructuring and continued implementation of reforms under the IMF Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI).
The Ministry of Finance reiterated that it will continue to implement sound public financial management measures to ensure the timely servicing of the country’s debt obligations while safeguarding fiscal sustainability.
It also expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their continued patience, support and confidence as the government pursues policies aimed at restoring economic stability and rebuilding market confidence.
