The Government of Ghana has completed a US$709 million Eurobond payment ahead of schedule, settling the obligation on December 30, 2025.
Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, described the payment as a significant milestone in the country’s economic recovery and public debt management efforts following the recent restructuring of Ghana’s Eurobond portfolio.
According to the minister, the latest settlement brings total Eurobond payments made by Ghana in 2025 to about US$1.4 billion, in line with the terms of the restructuring memorandum. The figure includes two earlier instalments of US$349.52 million each, alongside the most recent US$709 million payment.
Dr. Forson said the timely discharge of the obligation strengthens Ghana’s standing as a credible sovereign borrower and reflects the government’s commitment to rebuilding investor confidence through transparent, predictable and disciplined debt servicing.
He added that the government will build on this progress by deepening reforms in key areas, including domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management and debt sustainability, to support long-term fiscal stability.
“Fiscal buffers will continue to be strengthened to meet debt-service obligations and sustainably finance Ghana’s development agenda,” the minister said in a post on X on December 31, 2025.
The government also thanked Ghanaians for their patience and support during the recovery process, noting that public cooperation has been critical to the gains recorded so far. It appealed for continued understanding as further economic reforms are rolled out in 2026 to consolidate progress.
Concluding his message, Dr. Forson expressed optimism about the year ahead, saying: “May 2026 be our best year yet.”
