Gov’t Settles US$700 Million Eurobond Obligation Ahead of Schedule

Government has fully settled Ghana’s Eurobond obligation of US$700 million ahead of schedule, with the payment made on Thursday, 2 July 2026.

The Ministry of Finance disclosed this in a press release issued on Monday.

The payment consisted of US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments.

With this latest settlement, Ghana has paid a total of US$2.1 billion to Eurobond holders since January 2025, in accordance with the terms of the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.

The Ministry said the payment was made through Government’s planned financing arrangements without placing undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.

It said the settlement reduces Ghana’s outstanding Eurobond debt, strengthens investor confidence, and demonstrates Government’s commitment to prudent debt management and macroeconomic stability.

The Ministry of Finance said it would continue to implement sound public financial management practices to ensure the timely servicing of Ghana’s debt obligations, and expressed gratitude to the people of Ghana for their continued patience, support and confidence.
