Ghana Government Settles US$709m Eurobond Obligation Ahead of Schedule
The Ghanaian government has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date, marking a significant milestone in the country’s economic recovery and debt management efforts. The payment was made on December 30, 2025, bringing the total Eurobond payments made in 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion under the restructuring memorandum.
This latest settlement includes two earlier payments of US$349.52 million each, in addition to the US$709 million payment. Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, described the early settlement as a key marker of Ghana’s recovery efforts, reinforcing the country’s credibility as a sovereign borrower.
The timely payment demonstrates Ghana’s commitment to restoring investor confidence through transparent, predictable, and disciplined debt-service practices. The government plans to intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilization, public financial management, and public debt management to sustain the gains made.
The Ministry of Finance expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their support and understanding, which has been vital to the country’s economic recovery. The government appealed for continued forbearance as further economic reforms are implemented in the coming year to consolidate the gains made in 2025.
The Eurobond settlement forms part of broader efforts under an IMF-supported program to stabilize the economy, lower debt risks, and repair market access. With this achievement, Ghana aims to strengthen its fiscal buffers and sustainably finance its development agenda.
