Ghana’s Minister of Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced that the government has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of schedule, marking what he described as a significant milestone in the country’s economic recovery and debt-management efforts.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Forson said the payment was made on 30 December 2025 and brings Ghana’s total Eurobond repayments for the year to about US$1.4 billion under the debt restructuring memorandum. The figure comprises two earlier payments of US$349.52 million each, in addition to the latest settlement.
According to the finance minister, the timely repayment reinforces Ghana’s credibility as a sovereign borrower and signals the government’s commitment to restoring investor confidence through transparent, predictable and disciplined debt-service practices.
Building on the achievement, Forson said the government would intensify reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management and public debt management. He added that strengthening fiscal buffers would remain a priority to support debt-service obligations while sustainably financing Ghana’s development agenda.
The minister expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their patience, support and understanding, noting that public cooperation has been vital to the progress made in 2025. He also appealed for continued forbearance as further economic reforms are rolled out in the coming year to consolidate recent gains.
Looking ahead, Forson expressed optimism about the country’s prospects, saying the government is hopeful that 2026 will deliver even stronger economic outcomes for Ghana.
