Ghana has settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date, marking another key step in the country’s ongoing economic recovery and debt-management programme.
According to the Minister for Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, the payment was made on December 30, 2025, bringing Ghana’s total Eurobond payments for the year to US$1.4 billion under the restructuring memorandum agreed with bondholders.
In a post on X on December 31, the Finance Minister announced the settlement, describing it as a major milestone for the country’s economic recovery efforts.
“The Ministry of Finance has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation on 30th December 2025, ahead of its due date, marking another significant milestone in Ghana’s economic recovery and debt-management efforts.”

This includes payments of US$349.52 million, another US$349.52 million, and the latest US$709 million, bringing the total amount paid to Eurobond holders this year to US$1.4 billion.
Commenting on the significance of the early settlement, Mr Forson noted that it demonstrates Ghana’s renewed standing in the international financial market.
“The timely settlement reaffirms Ghana’s credibility as a sovereign borrower and underscores Government’s commitment to restoring investor confidence through transparent, predictable, and disciplined debt-service practices.”
The Finance Minister added that government will build on the progress made by intensifying reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and public debt management.
He further assured that fiscal buffers will continue to be strengthened to support future debt-service obligations while sustainably financing Ghana’s development agenda.
Ato Forson further expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their support throughout the economic recovery process.
