The Government of Ghana has completed its final Eurobond debt-service payment for 2025 after settling a US$709 million obligation to investors ahead of schedule.

The Ministry of Finance confirmed that the payment was made on December 30, 2025.

According to Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the settlement represents “another significant milestone in Ghana’s economic recovery and debt-management efforts.”

The latest payment brings Ghana’s total Eurobond servicing for 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion under the restructuring memorandum agreed with external creditors.

The payments comprised two earlier tranches of US$349.52 million each, in addition to the US$709 million final settlement.

In a post on social media, Dr. Forson said the timely payment reinforces Ghana’s credibility on the international financial markets.

“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 stated.

The Ajumako Enyan Essiam Member of Parliament further assured that the government would intensify reforms aimed at strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation, improving public financial management and enhancing public debt management.

“Building on this achievement, the Government will intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management and public debt management,” he said, adding that fiscal buffers would continue to be strengthened to meet future debt-service obligations while sustainably financing national development.

Dr. Forson also expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their support and understanding, which he credited as critical to the country’s ongoing economic recovery.

He appealed for continued cooperation as further reforms are rolled out in 2026 to consolidate gains made in 2025.

“May 2026 be our best year yet,” the Finance Minister concluded.

Ghana’s external debt restructuring process was initiated under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration as part of broader engagements with external creditors, including Eurobond holders.

The negotiations were subsequently finalised under the Mahama administration after it assumed office in 2025, paving the way for the US$1.4 billion in Eurobond payments made this year.
