Ghana’s Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, has announced that the government has completed the early repayment of a US$709 million Eurobond obligation, describing the move as a major milestone in the country’s ongoing economic recovery and debt restructuring programme.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Finance on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the Ministry confirmed that the payment was effected on December 30, 2025 — ahead of the scheduled maturity period.
Dr Forson disclosed that the latest transaction brings Ghana’s total Eurobond servicing in 2025 to approximately US$1.4 billion. This figure includes two earlier instalments of US$349.52 million each, honoured under terms of the country’s negotiated debt restructuring framework.
According to the Finance Minister, the early settlement reinforces Ghana’s reputation as a responsible sovereign issuer and signals government’s renewed commitment to transparent, predictable, and disciplined debt servicing — a key step toward restoring global investor confidence.
He noted that government will intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, strengthen public financial management systems, and enhance debt management strategies to consolidate macro-economic gains and safeguard fiscal stability.
The Ministry’s statement further indicated that fiscal buffers will continue to be reinforced to support future debt obligations while ensuring that resources remain available for national development priorities.
Dr Forson expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their patience and cooperation throughout the economic adjustment period, assuring that ongoing reforms are designed to deliver stronger growth outcomes.
He added that government remains optimistic about the year ahead, stating that efforts are underway to make 2026 a year of sustained economic progress and renewed national confidence.
