The Government of Ghana has fulfilled its final Eurobond debt service payment for 2025, completing a $349.5 million transaction on July 3 via the Bank of Ghana. This marks a significant milestone in the country’s fiscal recovery plan following last year’s Eurobond debt restructuring deal.
The Ministry of Finance, in an official statement, confirmed that Thursday’s payment brings total Eurobond debt servicing under the restructuring framework to approximately $1.17 billion.
“This brings Ghana fully up to date on all scheduled Eurobond debt service obligations for 2025,” the statement read.

The payment forms part of a debt restructuring agreement finalized in October 2024, which redefined the terms of Ghana’s engagement with international bondholders following a period of economic turbulence.
Payment Timeline
According to the Ministry, Ghana’s total Eurobond service payments since the restructuring began include:
-
October 2024: $475.60 million
-
January 2025: $349.52 million
-
July 2025: $349.52 million
This disciplined approach, the Ministry says, signals a renewed commitment to macroeconomic stability and responsible fiscal governance.
Market Signal and Credit Outlook
The Finance Ministry emphasized that the successful execution of the payment is expected to positively influence Ghana’s credit rating trajectory and bolster confidence among international investors.
“This timely payment reaffirms Ghana’s commitment to macroeconomic stability, prudent debt management, and constructive engagement with external creditors,” the Ministry noted.
The announcement also highlighted the strategic incorporation of the debt payment into the Bank of Ghana’s reserves and liquidity management framework, reinforcing efforts to maintain foreign exchange market stability.
Ghana is projected to service another $1.41 billion in Eurobond obligations in 2026, underscoring the long-term nature of the country’s debt commitments under the new fiscal path.
Reinforcing Recovery Momentum
This development arrives at a critical juncture as Ghana navigates a post-restructuring economic recovery programme under the International Monetary Fund’s Extended Credit Facility.
Analysts say that honoring this tranche sends a strong message to bond markets and international partners about Ghana’s resolve to restore its sovereign credibility and stay on track with its reform agenda.
