The Ministry of Finance has confirmed the successful settlement of additional Eurobond obligations, marking another step in Ghana’s ongoing debt management and economic recovery efforts.
In a statement released on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the Ministry said the payment was processed on December 30, ahead of its scheduled due date.
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson described the settlement as a critical milestone in Ghana’s broader debt management strategy, underscoring the government’s commitment to restoring fiscal discipline and investor confidence.
The latest payment brings total Eurobond settlements for 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion. Earlier in the year, the government made two separate payments of US$349.52 million each, in line with the terms of the country’s agreed debt restructuring programme.
According to Dr. Forson, the disciplined and transparent servicing of debt obligations remains central to rebuilding market confidence and reaffirming Ghana’s credibility as a reliable sovereign borrower.
He stressed that the government is intensifying reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and debt sustainability, aimed at safeguarding long-term macroeconomic stability.
The Ministry further indicated that efforts are underway to strengthen fiscal buffers, ensuring that future debt obligations can be met without undermining financing for critical national development projects.
Dr. Forson expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their resilience and cooperation throughout the economic stabilisation process and appealed for continued public support as further reforms are implemented in the year ahead.
Looking forward, the Finance Minister expressed optimism that 2026 will be a transformative year for Ghana’s economy, anchored on prudent fiscal management, sustained reforms, and renewed growth.
