The Ministry of Finance announced Wednesday that Ghana’s government has cleared GH¢10 billion in interest payments under the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).
Issued on February 18, 2026, the press release highlights this as the sixth coupon settlement—and the second full cash payment without any Payment-In-Kind (PIK) elements.
The payout covers cedi-denominated DDEP obligations, aligning with the restructuring agreement and the government’s debt management and fiscal consolidation efforts.
Ministry officials stressed that the on-time settlement demonstrates bolstered fiscal strength and solvency, boosting signals to domestic and global investors.
They anticipate it will solidify market trust, improve Ghana’s credit profile, and stabilize the financial sector, particularly banks and pension funds.
The government pledged to honor upcoming DDEP commitments, backed by robust financial reserves, better macroeconomic conditions, easing inflation, falling interest rates, and cedi stability.
