  "account": "In 2025, Ghana secured US$2.6 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), marking a significant increase from US$651.7 million in the previous year, according to the 2025 Investment Report released by the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) in Accra. The report, which evaluates Ghana's investment performance amid macroeconomic stabilization, heightened investor outreach, and an expanding list of sector opportunities, revealed that the turning point in Ghana's investment trajectory came in 2025. The report attributes the rise in investments to a strengthened global investment engagement, facilitated by targeted missions and strategic alliances across Asia, Europe, and Africa.\n\nThe FDI inflows were spread across 245 projects and existing companies, highlighting the sustained interest of investors in Ghana. The majority of these inflows were due to substantial capital injections in the petroleum and free zones sectors. Of the total, 181 new projects were valued at US$1.4 billion. The Petroleum Commission led with 18 projects worth US$739 million, while the Ghana Free Zones Authority recorded 42 new investments valued at US$176 million.\n\nChina ranked first among the top sources of FDI projects with 70 projects, followed by India with 22, Nigeria with 10, the UAE with nine, and the United Kingdom with eight projects. The Cayman Islands led in terms of FDI value, contributing US$500 million, succeeded by China with US$486 million. The general trade sector in Ghana absorbed 23 projects with a value of US$733 million.\n\nDespite global uncertainties, GIPA anticipates continued positive investment in Ghana due to favorable external conditions and improved domestic macroeconomic management. The broad-based expansion across agriculture, industry, and services indicates robust economic fundamentals and resilience. The alignment between sectoral growth and FDI inflows underscores Ghana's transition towards a diversified and investment-driven growth model. With macroeconomic stability on the rise, opportunities are expected to expand in agro-processing, manufacturing, digital services, and value-added exports, positioning Ghana as an attractive destination for long-term investors seeking access to both domestic and regional markets.",
