Dr Zakari Mumuni, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, has urged for enhanced institutional partnerships and risk-sharing to lure more Asian investment into West Africa. During the High-Level West Africa–Asia Capital Dialogue in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 15, 2026, Dr Mumuni highlighted Ghana's macroeconomic stabilization efforts and emphasized the need for policy predictability, credible institutions, and suitable financing structures to entice long-term investments.
He also identified promising sectors such as agro-processing, manufacturing, energy, transport and logistics, digital services, and financial technology as investment hotspots. Moreover, Dr Mumuni pointed out that the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) could further boost regional trade and foster investment. Dr Mumuni stressed that Africa must make its opportunities more enticing for investors, while partners should evaluate these opportunities objectively and collaborate to create viable commercial solutions.
He called for stakeholders to shift from mere dialogue to converting commitments into real investments, sustainable business expansion, and enduring partnerships that yield mutual benefits for Africa and Asia.
