ACCRA, Ghana – January 29, 2025 The Government of Ghana has taken a major step towards financial stability by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with its Official Creditor Committee (OCC).
The agreement, which has been endorsed by all participating creditor nations, formalizes Ghana’s debt treatment and paves the way for long-term economic recovery.
The OCC, co-chaired by China and France, played a crucial role in supporting Ghana’s efforts to resolve its debt challenges. The MoU provides significant debt service relief under the IMF-supported program, allowing the country to reallocate financial resources towards economic strengthening and growth.
With this agreement in place, Ghana will now move forward with bilateral deals with each OCC member to implement the agreed debt restructuring terms. The government has reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with its creditors to expedite these agreements.
Beyond the OCC, Ghana is also engaging with commercial external creditors to finalize additional restructuring deals that align with its need for debt relief and fair treatment among all creditors.
This milestone marks a crucial turning point for Ghana’s economy, reinforcing its dedication to restoring fiscal health and ensuring sustainable economic progress.
