Ghana has fully settled a US$700 million Eurobond debt obligation ahead of schedule, marking another milestone in the country’s post-debt restructuring programme and reinforcing efforts to restore investor confidence and macroeconomic stability.
The Ministry of Finance, in a statement on Monday, July 6, announced that the payment was made on Thursday, July 2, 2026, through the government’s planned financing arrangements.
The settlement comprised US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments, bringing Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion under the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
“The payment was made through the Government’s planned financing arrangements without undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.”
The Ministry said the latest settlement further reduces Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt while reinforcing investor confidence in Ghana’s economic recovery.
“The settlement reduces Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt, strengthens investor confidence, and demonstrates the Government’s commitment to prudent debt management and macroeconomic stability.”
The latest payment follows Ghana’s successful Eurobond debt restructuring in October 2024, after more than 98 percent of international bondholders agreed to participate in the debt exchange programme.
The restructuring significantly reduced the country’s debt servicing burden and established a new repayment schedule spanning several years as part of efforts to restore debt sustainability after the 2022 external debt default.
Since the restructuring, the government has consistently honoured its obligations under the revised agreement. Ghana made its first post-restructuring payment of US$475.6 million in October 2024, followed by US$349.5 million in January 2025, another US$349.5 million in July 2025, and approximately US$709 million in December 2025.
The latest US$700 million payment brings the total amount paid to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion, in line with the terms of the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to sound public financial management to ensure Ghana continues to meet its debt obligations in a timely manner.
The Ministry also expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their continued patience, support and confidence as the government works to sustain economic recovery and strengthen the country’s fiscal position.
