Government has made an early payment of a US$709 million Eurobond, a move officials say strengthens the nation's fiscal credibility and ongoing economic recovery.
In a statement released on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the Ministry of Finance confirmed the payment was processed on December 30, ahead of its due date.
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson described the settlement as a critical milestone in Ghana's debt management strategy.
This latest payment brings the total Eurobond settlements for 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion. Earlier in the year, the government made two separate payments of US$349.52 million each, consistent with the terms of its agreed debt restructuring programme.
Minister Forson stated that the disciplined and transparent servicing of obligations is central to rebuilding investor confidence and reaffirming Ghana's standing as a reliable sovereign borrower. He emphasized that the government remains committed to intensifying reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and debt sustainability.
The ministry’s statement further outlined plans to strengthen fiscal buffers to ensure future debt obligations can be met without compromising financing for national development projects.
Dr. Forson extended gratitude to citizens for their resilience and support throughout the economic stabilization process and appealed for continued cooperation as additional reforms are rolled out in the coming year.
Expressing optimism for the future, the Finance Minister concluded that the government is focused on making 2026 a transformative year for Ghana’s economy.
