The Government of Ghana has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date, marking a major step in the country’s ongoing economic recovery and debt management efforts.
The payment was completed on December 30, 2025, according to a statement issued by the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, on social media platform X.
The latest settlement brings Ghana’s total Eurobond payments for 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion, made under the country’s debt restructuring memorandum.
The amount includes earlier payments of US$349.52 million, US$349.52 million, and the most recent US$709 million.
Dr. Forson said the timely settlement reinforces Ghana’s credibility as a sovereign borrower and reflects government’s commitment to restoring investor confidence through what he described as “transparent, predictable, and disciplined debt-service practices.”
He noted that the government intends to build on this progress by intensifying reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and public debt management to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.
According to the Finance Minister, government will also continue to strengthen fiscal buffers to meet future debt-service obligations while sustainably financing Ghana’s development agenda.
Dr. Forson expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their support and patience throughout the economic recovery process, acknowledging their role in helping the country navigate recent fiscal challenges.
He further appealed for continued public cooperation and forbearance as additional economic reforms are rolled out in 2026 to consolidate gains made in 2025.
“May 2026 be our best year yet,” the Finance Minister stated.
