The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has honoured coupon payments worth GH¢2 billion to investors holding its restructured cocoa bills, now classified as bonds.

According to sources, payments were effected on Monday, September 1, 2025, covering mainly commercial banks that were impacted by the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).

The restructuring saw the short-term cocoa bills converted into longer-dated bonds, with COCOBOD assuring investors of its commitment to meet coupon payments of about GH¢1.9 billion due in 2026 and 2027, in addition to the principal, on schedule.

The new arrangement was facilitated by local banks acting as transaction advisors.
