Ghana settles 709 million dollar Eurobond debt ahead of schedule

The government of Ghana has settled a 709 million dollar Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date, the Ministry of Finance said in a statement issued on December, 31, 2025.

The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, said the early payment formed part of efforts to stabilise the economy and improve the management of public debt.

The settlement brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders in 2025 to 1.4 billion dollars under the restructuring memorandum.

The amount was paid in three tranches of 349.52 million dollars, 349.52 million dollars and 709 million dollars.

Dr Ato Forson said the early settlement reflected Ghana’s standing as a sovereign borrower and pointed to steps being taken to rebuild confidence among investors through clear and orderly debt servicing.

“Building on this outcome, the government will intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management and public debt management,” he said.

The Finance Minister added that fiscal buffers would continue to be strengthened to support debt servicing and to fund national development in a sustainable manner.

Dr Ato Forson also acknowledged the support and patience of Ghanaians during the period of economic adjustment and called for continued cooperation as further reforms are rolled out in 2026.

“May 2026 be our best year yet,” he said.

Ghana entered a debt restructuring programme after economic pressures affected the country’s ability to meet its external debt obligations.
