The Government of Ghana has paid $700 million to Eurobond holders ahead of schedule, bringing the country’s total external debt repayments under its post-restructuring programme to $2.1 billion.
The Ministry of Finance said the early payment demonstrates government’s commitment to honouring its debt obligations following the successful restructuring of Ghana’s Eurobonds. The latest settlement forms part of efforts to rebuild investor confidence and strengthen the country’s credibility in international financial markets.
According to the Ministry, the payment covers the third tranche due to bondholders under the restructured Eurobond agreement. Officials noted that meeting the obligation ahead of schedule reflects prudent debt management and improved fiscal discipline.
Government stated that the repayment is expected to enhance Ghana’s standing with international investors while supporting broader economic recovery efforts after the country’s debt restructuring programme.
The Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to implementing measures aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability, maintaining sustainable public debt levels and creating conditions for long-term economic growth.
The payment comes as Ghana continues to implement economic reforms under its programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with authorities expressing confidence that timely debt servicing will help improve market confidence and attract investment.
