This is per the Bank of Ghana\u2019s latest summary of economic and financial data released for September 2025.<\/p>\n

The increase, equivalent to 44.9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) comes after three consecutive months of declines driven by the strong appreciation of the cedi earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

The July figure compares with GH\u00a2613 billion in June and GH\u00a2769.4 billion in March, highlighting the volatility of the debt trajectory amid exchange rate movements.<\/p>\n

However, domestic debt rose to GH\u00a2323.7 billion or 23.1% of GDP, from GH\u00a2312.7 billion a month earlier.<\/p>\n

On the fiscal side, Ghana posted a deficit-to-GDP ratio of 1.4% in July, while the primary balance showed a surplus of 0.7%.<\/p>\n
