Government has settled about $700 million in Eurobond payments ahead of schedule, marking another major step in its debt service obligations.
Sources say the payment was made on Thursday and included $525.2 million in principal and $174.8 million in interest.
With this latest transaction, Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders have now reached $2.1 billion since January 2025, in line with the terms of the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
Debt Service and Financing Arrangements
The payment was executed through the government’s planned financing arrangements, without placing undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
Officials say the transaction forms part of ongoing efforts to meet external debt obligations in an orderly and sustainable manner.
Fiscal Impact and Investor Confidence
The latest settlement reduces Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt and is expected to strengthen investor confidence in the country’s debt management framework.
It also signals the government's continued commitment to prudent macroeconomic management and financial discipline.
Government Commitment
Sources indicate that government has reiterated its commitment to maintaining sound public financial management practices.
It says this approach will ensure the timely servicing of Ghana’s debt obligations while safeguarding macroeconomic stability going forward.
