The Government of Ghana has fully settled a US$700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, marking another milestone in its debt servicing programme under the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance’s Public Affairs Unit, the payment was made on Thursday, July 2, 2026, and comprised US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments.
The ministry said the latest settlement brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders to US$2.1 billion since January 2025, in line with the terms agreed under the Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.
“The payment consists of US$525.2 million in principal repayments and US$174.8 million in interest payments,” the statement said.
The ministry explained that the payment was executed through the government’s planned financing arrangements without placing undue pressure on the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
