The Government of Ghana has announced the full settlement of a $700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, marking another milestone in the country’s debt management programme and bringing total repayments to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to $2.1 billion.
The announcement was made in a statement issued on Monday by the Public Relations Unit of Ghana’s Ministry of Finance, which said the payment was executed on Thursday, July 2, 2026.
According to the ministry, the latest transaction comprised $525.2 million in principal repayments and $174.8 million in interest payments.
Officials said the settlement was carried out under the structural framework of Ghana’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme, with the government stressing that the payment was made through a pre-planned financing arrangement designed to avoid undue strain on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
The ministry said the early repayment reduces Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt, reinforces investor confidence and demonstrates the government’s commitment to prudent debt management and macroeconomic stability.
“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 statement said.
The latest payment raises Ghana’s total repayments to Eurobond holders since the start of 2025 to $2.1 billion, a figure the government says reflects adherence to the terms and structure of its ongoing debt restructuring programme.
Authorities also used the announcement to reassure stakeholders that Ghana would continue to maintain sound public financial management practices to ensure timely servicing of debt obligations in the future.
The Finance Ministry said it remains committed to policies aimed at sustaining fiscal discipline while protecting the broader economy from destabilising shocks. It added that the government would continue to implement measures to strengthen confidence in the country’s financial management strategy.
In the statement, the ministry also thanked Ghanaians for their patience, support and confidence in the administration’s fiscal reform efforts, saying public cooperation remains important as the government works to stabilise the economy and manage its debt commitments.
The development is the latest in Ghana’s broader effort to restore market credibility and navigate the pressures of debt servicing following recent restructuring measures, with officials portraying the ahead-of-schedule repayment as evidence of improving financial management and a continued effort to rebuild investor trust.
