This recent settlement raises Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders to US$2.1 billion since January 2025, aligning with the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
The Ministry indicated that the repayment was carried out through the government’s planned financing strategies and did not exert undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves.
“The payment was executed through the Government’s planned financing strategies without imposing undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves,” the Ministry stated in a release.

The Ministry emphasized that meeting this obligation ahead of schedule highlights the government’s dedication to maintaining prudent public debt management practices and ensuring macroeconomic stability as Ghana continues to implement its economic recovery programme.
