The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has reported progress on Ghanas debt restructuring efforts reaffirming governments commitment to debt repayments.
He said non-disclosure agreements have been signed with some commercial lenders, and the government has made two Eurobond payments totaling US$700 million to honor its external debt obligations.
“In line with Governments strong commitment to honouring its debt service obligations, we made two debt service payments of about US$700 million to our Euro bondholders,” he said.
Domestically, he said GH¢9.8 billion in coupon payments were made to DDEP bondholders in the first half of 2025, with GH¢3.6 billion capitalized.
Additionally, Dr Ato Forson mentioned that GH¢1.1 billion was paid to non-tendered bondholders to clear outstanding 2024 obligations.
“Mr Speaker, on the domestic front, Government continues to meet its commitment towards the Domestic
bondholders.”
“For the first half of 2025, a total of GH¢9.8 billion was paid as coupon to DDEP bondholders, of which GH¢3.6 billion was capitalised,” he said.
