President John Mahama delivered a reassuring message to bondholders during his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) on February 27, 2025.
He pledged to uphold all financial commitments, ensuring that bondholders receive their payments in full.
Mahama’s promise aimed to calm the nerves of bondholders, particularly retirees, who had grown anxious about the impact of the political shift on bond payments.
The president guaranteed that his government would not default on payments, stating, “Bondholders can rest assured that they will be paid up to the last pesewa”
This assurance comes on the heels of a GH₵6 billion payment, which has sparked concerns among retirees. Dr. Adu Anane Antwi, Convener of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum, emphasized the need for consistency in government payments to restore complete investor trust.
In his SONA address, Mahama also highlighted other key issues, including healthcare challenges and his plans to fix Ghana’s economic crisis within his four-year tenure.
