The Ghanaian government settled a US$709 million obligation to investors ahead of schedule, completing its final Eurobond debt-service payment until 2025.
The payment was made on December 30, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance.
The settlement is “another significant milestone in Ghana’s economic recovery and debt-management efforts,” according to Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
According to the restructuring contract reached with foreign creditors, Ghana’s entire Eurobond servicing for 2025 now stands at about US$1.4 billion.
The payments included the US$709 million ultimate settlement as well as two previous tranches totalling US$349.52 million each.
Dr. Forson stated in a social media post that Ghana’s standing on the global financial markets is strengthened by the prompt payment.
“The timely settlement reaffirms Ghana’s credibility as a sovereign borrower and underscores the Government’s commitment to restoring investor confidence through transparent, predictable and disciplined debt-service practices,” he said.
The Ajumako Enyan Essiam Member of Parliament also promised that the government will step up its efforts to improve public debt management, enhance domestic income mobilisation, and improve public financial management.
He stated, “Building on this achievement, the Government will intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and public debt management.”
He also added that fiscal buffers would be strengthened going forward to meet future debt-service obligations while sustainably funding national development.
Additionally, Dr. Forson thanked Ghanaians for their understanding and support, which he said was essential to the nation’s continuous economic recovery.
In order to build on the progress established in 2025, he urged ongoing collaboration as additional reforms are implemented in 2026.
The Finance Minister said, “May 2026 be our best year yet.”
The Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration started Ghana’s external debt restructuring process as part of larger negotiations with foreign creditors, including holders of Eurobonds.
The US$1.4 billion in Eurobond payments paid this year were made possible by the talks being completed under the Mahama administration after it took office in 2025.
