The Government of Ghana has fully settled its Eurobond obligation of US$700 million ahead of schedule, the Ministry of Finance announced in an official press release dated Monday, 6th July 2026.
According to the statement, the early payment was completed on Thursday, 2nd July 2026.
The US700 million settlement comprises US525.2 million in principal repayments alongside US$174.8 million in interest payments.
The Ministry stated that the execution of this payment utilised the government’s planned financing arrangements, ensuring it was completed without placing undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves.
This early settlement brings the cumulative amount Ghana has paid to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion.
The Ministry noted that these sequential payments align directly with the structural terms outlined under the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
Financial authorities emphasise that the successful transaction will shrink Ghana’s total outstanding Eurobond debt, bolster international investor confidence, and underscore a strict institutional commitment to macroeconomic stability and prudent debt management.
Looking forward, the Public Relations Unit of the Ministry of Finance affirmed its directive to execute sound public financial management practices to maintain the timely servicing of all subsequent national debt obligations.
The Ministry expressed gratitude to the citizens of Ghana for their continued patience and confidence.
