Government Settles US$700 Million Eurobond Debt Ahead of Schedule

The Ghana Eurobond payment programme recorded another milestone after the government announced it had fully settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, reinforcing efforts to restore confidence in the country's public finances.

The Ministry of Finance said the payment was completed on July 2 under the terms of Ghana's Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.

The settlement comprised US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest, bringing total payments made to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion.

Debt Burden Reduced

According to the Ministry, the latest payment was financed through the government's planned funding arrangements and did not place "undue pressure on the country's foreign exchange reserves."

Officials say the transaction marks another step in reducing Ghana's external debt while strengthening investor confidence in the country'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 Ministry said in a statement.

Commitment to Fiscal Discipline

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining sound public financial management and ensuring future debt obligations are serviced on time.

It also thanked Ghanaians for their continued patience and support as authorities implement measures aimed at restoring long term fiscal sustainability.

The latest payment is expected to reinforce Ghana's credibility with international investors as the government continues executing its post debt restructuring strategy while seeking to preserve macroeconomic stability and rebuild market confidence.
