Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced that the Government of Ghana has successfully settled a US$709 million Eurobond obligation ahead of its due date, marking a significant boost to the country’s economic recovery and debt-management efforts.
In a post shared on his official Facebook page on December 30, 2025, Dr. Ato Forson disclosed that the payment brings Ghana’s total Eurobond settlements in 2025 to about US$1.4 billion under the restructuring memorandum. The amount includes two earlier payments of US$349.52 million each, alongside the latest US$709 million settlement.
According to the Finance Minister, the timely payment reaffirms Ghana’s credibility as a sovereign borrower and demonstrates government’s commitment to restoring investor confidence through transparent, predictable, and disciplined debt-service practices.
Dr. Ato Forson noted that government will build on this achievement by intensifying reforms in domestic revenue mobilisation, public financial management, and public debt management to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.
He further assured that fiscal buffers will continue to be strengthened to support future debt-service obligations while sustainably financing Ghana’s development agenda.
The Finance Minister expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their patience, support, and understanding, stressing that public cooperation has been crucial to the economic recovery recorded in 2025.
He also appealed for continued forbearance and cooperation as government implements further economic reforms in the coming year to consolidate the gains achieved and place the economy on a more resilient footing.
