Ghana’s next investment chapter: Turning recovery into resilience

Ghana has maintained its position as Africa's sixth most attractive investment destination for the third consecutive year, according to the latest Where to Invest in Africa 2026/27 report by Rand Merchant Bank (RMB). Despite the unchanged ranking, the report suggests a more compelling story of Ghana's economic recovery and improving fundamentals.

The country's investment appeal is bolstered by its established democratic institutions, economic potential, private-sector opportunities, and strategic position within the West African region. Ghana's economic performance has shown significant improvement, with real GDP growth accelerating to 5.8% in 2024 and 6.0% in 2025, with non-oil growth reaching 7.6% in 2025.

Inflation has moderated, fiscal consolidation has taken place, and stronger export earnings have improved foreign-exchange liquidity and external buffers. While these developments strengthen the investment case, the report emphasizes that sustained stability and the translation of these gains into productive investment, stronger institutions, and durable growth will be crucial for Ghana's long-term economic success.
