Ghana Makes Timely Eurobond Payment

The Government of Ghana has successfully fulfilled its Eurobond debt service commitments for 2025 with the payment of US$349.52 million on Thursday, July 3, 2025.

This latest instalment brings the total Eurobond debt service payments for 2025 to US$699.04 million, following two earlier payments of equal value in January and July.

The Ministry of Finance emphasized that the timely payment underscores the government’s commitment to macroeconomic stability, prudent debt management, and ongoing cooperation with external creditors. Ghana had previously made an initial payment of US$475.60 million in October 2024, shortly after concluding a comprehensive Eurobond debt restructuring deal.

In total, Ghana has now serviced US$1.17 billion in Eurobond payments since the restructuring, bringing it fully up to date on all scheduled debt obligations for the year. This achievement demonstrates the government’s dedication to meeting its debt obligations and maintaining fiscal discipline.

The Ministry of Finance expects this latest payment to have a positive impact on Ghana’s credit rating outlook, reinforcing its post-restructuring fiscal discipline and strengthening investor confidence in the country’s sovereign creditworthiness and economic recovery programme. Additionally, the payment is expected to support stability in the foreign exchange market, with the payment integrated into the Bank of Ghana’s reserves and liquidity management framework.

Ghana is scheduled to service US$1.41 billion in Eurobond debt in 2026. The government remains committed to meeting all future debt obligations as part of its broader economic recovery and reform agenda. This commitment to debt management and fiscal responsibility is expected to contribute to Ghana’s economic stability and growth.
