The government has settled approximately $700 million in Eurobond debt payments ahead of schedule, marking another significant milestone in meeting its external debt service obligations.
Sources indicate that the payment, made on Thursday, comprised $525.2 million in principal repayments and $174.8 million in interest.
The latest transaction brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to $2.1 billion, in line with the terms of the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
Planned Financing Supports Payment
According to sources, the payment was executed through the government’s planned financing arrangements, ensuring that the transaction did not place undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
Officials say the settlement forms part of broader efforts to service Ghana’s external debt in an orderly, sustainable and predictable manner.
Boost to Debt Management Efforts
The latest payment is expected to reduce Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt while reinforcing investor confidence in the country’s debt management strategy.
It also underscores the government’s commitment to prudent macroeconomic management and fiscal discipline as it continues to implement measures aimed at restoring economic stability.
Commitment to Fiscal Stability
Sources say the government remains committed to sound public financial management and the timely servicing of its debt obligations.
Officials maintain that this approach will help safeguard macroeconomic stability, strengthen investor confidence and support Ghana’s long-term economic recovery.
