Full analysis

Ghana is experiencing a decisive macroeconomic rebound in 2025-2026. Real GDP expanded 6% in 2025 (up from 5.8% in 2024), driven by services (ICT +13.1%, finance +9.3%) and a recovering agricultural sector. FDI surged to $2.61 billion in 2025 — more than four times the $652 million recorded in 2024 — across 253 projects spanning petroleum, manufacturing, free zones, and technology, with over $5 billion in additional commitments announced. President Mahama's 'Big Push' infrastructure programme committed $1.1 billion for 2025 alone, with 32 road projects approved as recently as July 24, 2025. The Bank of Ghana's National Payment Systems Strategy 2025–2029 is formalising open banking and fintech infrastructure, while the Feed Ghana Programme is mobilising capital into agro-processing value chains. Ghana's EU Economic Partnership Agreement and AfCFTA hub status provide European investors with preferential market-access advantages unavailable to most competitors.

The Mahama administration's Feed Ghana Programme is actively rolling out investments in irrigation, mechanisation, and farmer service centres, and explicitly creates procurement channels for agro-processing, storage, and logistics partners. Ghana's agricultural sector showed broad-based recovery in 2025, contributing to the 6% GDP expansion, while the IFC in FY2026 has already financed and mobilised $505 million in Ghana specifically targeting agribusiness and export-led manufacturing.
