Ghana clears US$700 million Eurobond debt ahead of schedule

By: Emmanuel Bekoe

The Government of Ghana has fully repaid a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, a move the Ministry of Finance says reflects the country's commitment to responsible debt management and sustained macroeconomic stability.

In a statement, the Ministry disclosed that the payment was made on Thursday, July 2, 2026, comprising US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments.

According to the Ministry, the latest settlement brings Ghana's total payments to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion, in line with the terms of the country's Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.

The Ministry explained that the repayment was financed through the Government's planned financing arrangements and did not place undue pressure on Ghana's foreign exchange reserves.

It said the payment further reduces the country's outstanding Eurobond debt while strengthening investor confidence in Ghana's economic management.

"The successful settlement demonstrates the Government's continued commitment to honouring its debt obligations and maintaining prudent public debt management as part of broader efforts to sustain macroeconomic stability," the Ministry stated.

The Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to implementing sound public financial management practices to ensure the timely servicing of Ghana's debt obligations.

Expressing gratitude to citizens, the Ministry thanked the people of Ghana for their patience, support and confidence as the Government continues implementing measures aimed at restoring and safeguarding the country's economic stability.
