The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, has announced that the Government of Ghana has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Finance on Wednesday December 31, 2025, confirmed that the payment was made on December 30, 2025, marking another important step in Ghana’s economic recovery and debt management efforts.
The Minister said the latest payment brings Ghana’s total Eurobond payments for 2025 to about US$1.4 billion. This includes two earlier payments of US$349.52 million each, made under the agreed debt restructuring memorandum.
According to Dr. Forson, the timely settlement reaffirms Ghana’s credibility as a sovereign borrower and demonstrates government’s commitment to transparent and disciplined debt servicing, aimed at restoring investor confidence.
He added that government will intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and public debt management to sustain the gains made so far.
The statement also assured that fiscal buffers will continue to be strengthened to support future debt service obligations while ensuring sustainable financing for Ghana’s development agenda.
Dr. Forson thanked the people of Ghana for their support and understanding during the economic recovery period and appealed for continued cooperation as further reforms are implemented in the coming year.
He expressed optimism about the future, saying government is working to make 2026 the best year yet for the country.
