Government has lifted the three-year restriction on domestic bond issuance, opening the door for new long-term bonds and reducing reliance on short-term Treasury bills.
The Finance Ministry, in a statement, said the move follows the successful implementation of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), which was launched in December 2022 to restructure domestic debt and restore economic stability.
According to the statement, “Since 2025, the Government has honoured every coupon payment and obligation under the restructured bonds, demonstrating its credibility, fiscal discipline, and commitment to responsible debt management.”
The Ministry added that the decision to resume bond issuance comes amid low inflation, improved investor confidence, and a strong macroeconomic environment supported by a robust medium-term debt strategy.
President John Dramani Mahama’s administration expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their patience during the debt restructuring period, saying it deeply appreciates the public’s forbearance and cooperation.
