The Government of Ghana has paid GH¢10 billion in interest obligations under the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), according to a post by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson on his Facebook page.
This payment marks the sixth coupon settlement under the programme and represents the second full cash payment without any Payment-In-Kind component, reflecting strengthened fiscal capacity and solvency.
The settlement covers cedi-denominated DDEP coupon obligations, aligning with the restructuring memorandum and Government’s broader debt management and fiscal consolidation strategy.
The timely payment is expected to boost market confidence, support Ghana’s credit outlook, and enhance stability within the financial sector, including banks and pension funds.
Government remains committed to meeting future DDEP obligations, supported by strong buffers, improving macroeconomic fundamentals, declining inflation, lower interest rates, and a stable Cedi.
Below is the press statement from the finance ministry.
