The Government of Ghana has successfully cleared a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date, a move officials say reinforces fiscal discipline and signals continued economic recovery.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the Ministry of Finance confirmed that the payment was finalized on December 30, earlier than originally scheduled.
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson described the early settlement as a major step in strengthening Ghana’s public finance management and restoring confidence among international investors.
Boost to Fiscal Credibility
With this latest transaction, Ghana’s total Eurobond repayments for the year now stand at approximately US$1.4 billion. Earlier in 2025, the government made two separate repayments of US$349.52 million, in line with the country’s debt restructuring commitments.
Dr. Forson explained that meeting debt obligations promptly demonstrates the government’s resolve to rebuild trust in Ghana’s creditworthiness and reinforce its standing in global financial markets.
Commitment to Sound Economic Management
The Finance Minister noted that ongoing reforms are focused on improving revenue mobilisation, strengthening expenditure controls, and ensuring long-term debt sustainability.
He added that government is also working to create stronger financial buffers to safeguard the economy against future shocks while protecting funding for priority development projects.
Looking Toward a Stronger 2026
Dr. Forson expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their endurance and cooperation throughout the economic adjustment period, acknowledging the shared sacrifices made during the recovery process.
He concluded by expressing confidence that 2026 will usher in renewed economic momentum, anchored by disciplined fiscal management and growing investor confidence.
