The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced the settlement of GH¢2.306 billion, completing its mandatory payment obligations to holders of bonds affected by the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) for 2026.
COCOBOD said it had earlier paid a coupon amount of GH¢376.33 million in March 2026, bringing the total amount paid to DDEP bondholders this year to GH¢2.683 billion.
The Board also disclosed that it fully settled GH¢162 million in July 2026 to holders of Cocoa Bills who did not participate in the DDEP.
According to COCOBOD, the July payment brought its outstanding obligations to the affected non-DDEP Cocoa Bill holders to a close.
The Board said the payments demonstrate its commitment to responsible financial management and the systematic settlement of its financial obligations.
COCOBOD added that the settlements form part of broader efforts to strengthen the financial sustainability of Ghana’s cocoa sector under the guidance of the Ministry of Finance.
