The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced the full settlement of its mandatory payment obligations to bondholders affected by the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) for the year 2026.

In a press release dated 1st September 2026, COCOBOD said it has settled an amount of GHS2,306,202,372.09, completing its DDEP payments for the year.

According to the Board, earlier in March 2026, a coupon amount of GH¢376,325,910.09 was paid, bringing the total amount paid to DDEP bondholders in 2026 to GH¢2,682,582,282.18.
