The Ministry of Finance has announced that the Government of Ghana has fully settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule.
According to a press release issued by the ministry on Monday, July 6, 2026, the payment was completed on Thursday, July 2, 2026. The settlement included US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments.
The ministry said the latest payment brings the total amount Ghana has paid to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to US$2.1 billion, in line with the terms of the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
It explained that the payment was made through the government’s planned financing arrangements and did not place undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves.
The Ministry of Finance said the settlement will reduce the country’s outstanding Eurobond debt, strengthen investor confidence, and demonstrate the government’s commitment to prudent debt management and maintaining macroeconomic stability.
The ministry added that it will continue to implement sound public financial management practices to ensure the timely servicing of Ghana’s debt obligations.
It also thanked the people of Ghana for their continued patience, support, and confidence.
