The landmark payment, which was completed on Thursday, 2nd July 2026, signals a strong step forward in the country's ongoing economic recovery and fiscal management strategies.

According to an official press release issued by the Ministry of Finance's Public Relations Unit, the US$700 million total settlement is broken down into two primary components:

Principal Repayments: US$525.2 million

Interest Payments: US$174.8 million

Strategic Milestone in Debt Management
As detailed in the document HMhX9CVXEAAgsC0.jpg, this latest early settlement brings Ghana’s total payments to Eurobond holders to an impressive US$2.1 billion since January 2025.
