The Government of Ghana has fully repaid a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its scheduled maturity, the Ministry of Finance has announced.

The payment, completed on Thursday, July 2, 2026, consisted of US$525.2 million in principal and US$174.8 million in interest.

According to the Ministry, the settlement forms part of Ghana’s broader Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme and brings total payments to Eurobond holders to US$2.1 billion since January 2025.

Officials say the transaction was executed through planned financing arrangements and did not place undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.

In a statement, the Ministry noted that the early settlement reflects prudent debt management and reinforces government efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability and strengthen investor confidence.

The repayment comes as Ghana continues to implement its economic recovery programme following the completion of its external debt restructuring and ongoing reforms under the IMF Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI).

The Ministry added that meeting the obligation ahead of schedule demonstrates its commitment to timely debt servicing and sustainable public financial management.

It also expressed appreciation to the public for its continued patience and support as the government pursues policies aimed at restoring fiscal stability and rebuilding confidence in the economy.
