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 suggesting limited progress, there are compelling signs of Ghana's economic recovery strengthening.

The report evaluates 20 indicators across economic performance, market accessibility, innovation, economic stability, and investment environment, among others. Ghana's investment appeal draws on its established democratic institutions, economic potential, private-sector opportunities, and strategic position within the West African region.

The country's economic performance has improved markedly, 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 sharply, and fiscal consolidation and debt restructuring have bolstered efforts to restore confidence. However, the full benefits of this recovery may not yet be reflected in the assessment designed to capture longer-term fundamentals, as investment opportunities differ across sectors, and an economy's overall position cannot fully capture the prospects of individual industries or projects.
