The International Monetary Fund<\/a> (IMF) has projected that Ghana\u2019s total debt stock to reach about 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The IMF attributes the projected reduction to Ghana\u2019s recent debt restructuring programme, which has improved the country\u2019s fiscal outlook.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent debt restructuring agreement has significantly improved debt service indicators for Ghana,\u201d IMF Director of Communications, Julie Kozack said during a recent press briefing in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

She added that the development would create more room for economic recovery and allow the government to invest in critical sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis drop can be described as a specifically steep reduction in Ghana\u2019s public debt,\u201d Julie Kozack said, adding that it marks a restoration of fiscal sustainability.<\/p>\n

Touching on measures needed to maintain the projected decline, the IMF emphasised the importance of boosting domestic revenue, strengthening public financial management, and maintaining fiscal discipline.<\/p>\n

Recent data from the Bank of Ghana<\/a> indicates that as of June 2025, the country\u2019s total debt stock had already dropped to GH\u00a2613 billion, representing 43.8% of GDP.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the latest projection by the Bretton Woods institution reflects significant progress toward debt sustainability.<\/p>\n
