The Government of Ghana has fully settled a $700 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, the Ministry of Finance announced Monday.

According to a ministry press release, the payment was completed on Thursday, July 2, 2026, and included $525.2 million in principal repayments and $174.8 million in interest payments.

The ministry said the latest payment brings the total amount Ghana has paid to Eurobond holders since January 2025 to $2.1 billion, in line with the terms of the country’s Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme.

Eurobonds are debt securities issued in international markets, allowing governments, corporations, and organizations to raise funds from foreign investors in a currency outside their home market.

Officials said the settlement was financed through the government’s planned funding arrangements without placing undue pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves.

The ministry said the payment reduces the country’s outstanding Eurobond debt, strengthens investor confidence and highlights the government’s commitment to prudent debt management and macroeconomic stability.

It added that the government will continue implementing sound public financial management practices to ensure the timely servicing of Ghana’s debt obligations.

The ministry also thanked Ghanaians for their continued patience, support and confidence during the country’s debt restructuring efforts.
