The desk brief
On 23 July 2026 Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson told Parliament the government will pay the GH¢10.8 billion seventh DDEP coupon on 18 August 2026 in full and on schedule, and said Ghana has paid US$2.1 billion in principal and interest to Eurobond holders since January 2025.
The explicit ministerial commitment to honour the GH¢10.8bn DDEP coupon reduces uncertainty around domestic restructuring credibility but is not settlement confirmation. Markets will treat this as supportive for sovereign domestic-credit narratives; actual transmission to prices and liquidity depends on verified on‑ledger settlement on 18 August 2026 and on conditions in pension-fund and bank balance sheets that hold DDEP instruments.
Settlement confirmation or payment receipts for the GH¢10.8bn DDEP coupon due 18 August 2026.
