Government Pays Gh¢10 Billion DDEP Interest

Accra, Wednesday, 18th February 2026… The Government of Ghana has paid GH¢10 billion in interest obligations under the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).

This payment marks the sixth coupon settlement under the programme and represents the second full cash payment without any Payment-In-Kind component, reflecting strengthened fiscal capacity and solvency.

The settlement covers cedi-denominated DDEP coupon obligations in line with the restructuring memorandum and Government’s broader debt management and fiscal consolidation strategy.

The timely payment sends a strong positive signal to domestic and international investors, reinforces market confidence, and is expected to support Ghana’s credit outlook while enhancing stability within the financial sector, including banks and pension funds.

Government remains fully committed to meeting future DDEP obligations, supported by strong buffers, improving macroeconomic fundamentals, declining inflation, lower interest rates, and a stable Cedi. END
