Why Invest In Ghana
The President’s Message
There is a new Ghana that is emerging with a sense of urgency and purpose. We have set our sights on becoming self-reliant and moving beyond aid, and we need you our investors as partners on this journey.
Africa is a promising continent for trade and investment, and Ghana is leading the way. With the African Continental Free Trade Area in place, Ghana is poised to be the gateway to the African market.
My vision is to develop a modern, diversified, efficient, and financially sustainable “energy economy” that will ensure that all Ghanaian homes and industries have access to adequate, reliable, affordable and environmentally-sustainable supply of energy to meet their needs and to support the accelerated growth and development agenda we envisage for the country.

President Of The Republic Of Ghana and
Commander In Chief Of The Ghana Armed Forces

Ghana is also the most politically stable country in West Africa. It has strong public institutions with a solid track record of good democratic governance; relatively quality infrastructure and growing markets that are comparatively well regulated. On account of these advantages, many international companies are located in Ghana as a gateway for their business activities in West Africa.
