Government has settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of the January 3, 2026 schedule.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Finance said the December 30, 2025 early settlement is another milestone under Ghana\u2019s post-restructuring debt strategy.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Ministry said, the payment signals renewed commitment to disciplined, transparent debt servicing as well as reinforces efforts to stabilise public finances and rebuild investor confidence after years of debt distress.<\/p>\n

The latest payment brings Ghana\u2019s total Eurobond repayments in 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion.<\/p>\n

This includes two earlier payments of US$349.52 million each, alongside the US$709 million now settled under the terms of the country\u2019s restructuring memorandum.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry, the timely settlement underscores government\u2019s determination to restore Ghana\u2019s credibility as a sovereign borrower and re-engage international capital markets from a position of improved fiscal strength.<\/p>\n

Ghana was forced into a comprehensive debt restructuring after mounting debt levels, rising interest costs and global economic shocks severely constrained fiscal space.<\/p>\n

Since then, authorities have prioritised meeting restructured obligations as part of a broader macroeconomic recovery programme anchored by fiscal consolidation and structural reforms.<\/p>\n

The Finance Ministry said government would build on the momentum from the latest Eurobond payment by deepening reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management and debt management.<\/p>\n

These measures, it noted, are aimed at strengthening fiscal buffers and ensuring the sustainability of future debt-service commitments while continuing to finance key development priorities.<\/p>\n

Government thanked Ghanaians for their resilience and cooperation during the reform period and appealed for continued support as further economic measures are rolled out in 2026 to consolidate gains made this year.<\/p>\n

The Ministry expressed optimism that the progress recorded in 2025, particularly in restoring debt credibility, would lay the foundation for stronger and more resilient economic performance in the year ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
