Ghana Investment Promotion Authority CEO to QNA: Promising Prospects for Investment Partnership with Qatar

Simon Madjie, CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority, stated to Qatar News Agency during the World Investment Forum 2026 that economic relations between Qatar and Ghana are rapidly evolving. This progress is fueled by a shared ambition to bolster investment cooperation and forge strategic alliances in key sectors. Madjie noted that direct flights between the two nations serve as a crucial conduit for fostering connections between their business communities, thereby boosting trade and enhancing cooperative ventures.

He pointed out that Qatari businesses are increasingly showing interest in Ghana's market, presenting opportunities for collaboration in finance, insurance, fintech, digital economy, agriculture, mining, oil and gas, creative arts, culture, and tourism. Madjie expressed his country's commitment to deepening engagement with the business communities of both nations and encouraging heightened Qatari investment within Ghana, with the goal of mutually benefiting their economic ties.

He commended Qatar for hosting the World Investment Forum, calling it a premier global forum where leaders, policymakers, and investors can tackle international economic issues and capital flows. Madjie further emphasized Ghana's intention to showcase its investment potential and appealing government incentives, such as those for operations in free zones and support for various sectors, including factory setups, equipment, machinery, and broader business environment enhancements to attract capital inflows.

He concluded by underscoring the significance of strengthening bilateral government-to-government and economic ties, advancing private-sector collaboration, and nurturing sustainable, mutually advantageous partnerships.
