The Government of Ghana has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, reinforcing its commitment to economic recovery and prudent debt management.

The payment, which was completed on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, brings Ghana’s total Eurobond repayments for the year to approximately US$1.4 billion.

The amount covers earlier disbursements of US$349.52 million made twice during the year, in line with the country’s debt restructuring agreement with bondholders.

In a Facebook post, the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiedl Ato Forson explained that the early settlement underscores Ghana’s renewed credibility as a sovereign borrower and signals government’s determination to rebuild investor confidence through transparent, disciplined, and predictable debt-servicing practices.

He noted that the milestone reflects steady progress in stabilising the economy and restoring confidence in Ghana’s public finances.

He added that government will build on this achievement by deepening reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and public debt administration.

The Ministry further assured that fiscal buffers will continue to be strengthened to meet future debt obligations while sustainably financing national development priorities.

Government also expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their patience and support, acknowledging that public cooperation has been critical to the gains made so far. It appealed for continued forbearance as further economic reforms are rolled out in 2026 to consolidate the progress achieved in 2025.
