The Government has taken another step to reinforce confidence in Ghana’s economy with the early settlement of a US$709 million Eurobond obligation.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the Ministry of Finance announced that the payment was successfully effected on December 30, ahead of the scheduled due date. Officials say the move underscores government’s commitment to prudent debt management and signals steady progress in the country’s economic recovery efforts.
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson described the early payment as a significant achievement within Ghana’s broader debt restructuring and fiscal consolidation agenda. According to him, timely servicing of external obligations is essential to restoring trust among investors and strengthening Ghana’s credibility on the international financial market.
The payment brings Ghana’s total Eurobond settlements for 2025 to about US$1.4 billion. Earlier in the year, the government honoured two separate Eurobond payments of US$349.52 million each, in line with agreements reached under the ongoing debt restructuring programme.
Dr. Forson noted that government remains focused on implementing reforms aimed at boosting domestic revenue mobilisation, improving public financial management, and ensuring long-term debt sustainability. He added that measures are also being put in place to rebuild fiscal buffers to enable the country meet future obligations without undermining critical development spending.
The Finance Minister expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their patience and cooperation throughout the economic stabilisation process and called for continued support as further reforms are introduced.
Looking ahead, he said government is optimistic about the outlook for the economy and is positioning 2026 as a year of consolidation and renewed growth for Ghana.
