Ghana’s Eurobond repayment profile will remain a key focus for debt managers over the coming years, with about US$6.4 billion in sovereign bond principal expected to mature between between 2027 and 2030, according to the World Bank.
The figure places Ghana among the African countries with the largest Eurobond repayment obligations over the period, alongside Nigeria, which also has US$6.4 billion in maturities, and behind South Africa with US$11.8 billion.
The World Bank, in its October 2026 Africa Economic Update, said the maturity profile reflects a combination of borrowing undertaken before Ghana’s debt restructuring and instruments created through the subsequent debt exchange.
Ghana completed its Eurobond debt exchange in October 2024, converting defaulted bonds into restructured instruments as part of efforts to restore debt sustainability and reduce near-term refinancing pressures.
The report notes that while restructuring has eased immediate repayment challenges, countries across Sub-Saharan Africa still face growing refinancing pressures as significant bond maturities approach.
For Ghana, however, investor sentiment has improved significantly following the restructuring programme, fiscal adjustment measures and progress under the recently completed International Monetary Fund-supported programme.
The World Bank said Ghana’s sovereign spreads- a measure of perceived borrowing risk declined sharply from about 2,828 basis points in 2023 to 239 basis points by August 2026, following the completion of debt restructuring and Ghana’s reclassification to moderate risk of debt distress.
The development suggests that while Ghana’s Eurobond obligations remain substantial, the focus is shifting from debt crisis management to maintaining fiscal discipline, strengthening market confidence and ensuring the country can meet future obligations without renewed pressure on public finances.
