The Government of Ghana has fully settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, marking another milestone in the country’s ongoing debt restructuring and economic recovery efforts.
According to a statement issued by 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 Ministry disclosed that the latest settlement brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders to US$2.1 billion since January 2025 under the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
It noted that the repayment was executed through the government’s planned financing arrangements and did not exert 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 stated.
The government said the early settlement is expected to further reduce Ghana’s outstanding external debt burden while strengthening investor confidence in the country’s ongoing fiscal and macroeconomic reform agenda.
According to the Ministry, meeting the obligation ahead of schedule underscores the government’s commitment to prudent public debt management and the preservation of 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 programme and the continued implementation of reforms under the International Monetary Fund’s Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI).
The Ministry of Finance reiterated its commitment to implementing 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.
