The Government of Ghana has paid GH¢10 billion in interest obligations under the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), signalling continued commitment to fiscal stability and debt restructuring efforts.
Announced in Accra on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, the payment represents the sixth coupon settlement under the programme and marks the second full cash payment made without any Payment-In-Kind component. Officials say this reflects improved fiscal strength and growing solvency.
The settlement covers coupon obligations on cedi-denominated domestic debt instruments in line with the restructuring memorandum and the government’s broader debt management and fiscal consolidation strategy.
Economists note that the timely payment sends a positive signal to both domestic and international investors, helping to reinforce market confidence. It is also expected to support Ghana’s credit outlook while promoting stability in the financial sector, particularly among banks and pension funds that hold significant domestic debt.
Government authorities reaffirmed their commitment to meeting future DDEP obligations, citing strong fiscal buffers, improving macroeconomic indicators, declining inflation, lower interest rates, and a relatively stable cedi as factors supporting continued progress.
The development is seen as a key step in Ghana’s ongoing economic recovery and efforts to restore financial credibility following recent debt restructuring measures.
