Full analysis
Ghana is experiencing a powerful investment renaissance in mid-2026. FDI surged to US$2.6 billion in 2025—more than four times the 2024 figure—driven by 253 new and existing projects across energy, manufacturing, and technology. The Mahama administration's 'Big Push' infrastructure programme has committed GH¢13.9bn (~$1.1bn) for 2025, scaling to GH¢21.6bn by 2028, with PPPs and the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund's Special Purpose Vehicles actively courting private capital. A new Ghana Investment Promotion Authority bill is pending presidential assent and will remove minimum capital requirements and introduce an investor grievance mechanism. Ghana holds an EU Economic Partnership Agreement covering 78% of tariff lines and benefits from China's June 2025 zero-tariff initiative for 53 African nations. The Bank of Ghana's National Payment Systems Strategy 2025–2029 is institutionalising open banking, while the Ministry of Communications is tendering a nationwide fibre audit and PPP broadband projects. GDP rebounded to 5.7% in 2024, inflation has moderated, and the cedi has stabilised, though non-performing loans at 21.8% and residual fiscal fragility remain watch items.
