  "account": "Ghana is set to repay US$6.4 billion in Eurobond debt between 2027 and 2030, according to the World Bank. South Africa has the highest repayment burden in Africa, amounting to US$11.8 billion. Nigeria and Angola also face substantial Eurobond repayments of US$6.4 billion and US$3.9 billion, respectively. The redemption pressures were particularly high in 2024, with Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, and Zambia facing a combined US$6.4 billion in maturing obligations. Liability management operations by Angola, Kenya, and Côte d'Ivoire have slightly reduced the 2028 concentration to around US$5.5 billion, but refinancing pressures continue to persist throughout the remaining period, with the largest concentrations anticipated in 2029 (US$7.5 billion) and 2027 (US$6.6 billion).",
