  "account": "Ghana attracted a record US$2.6 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2025, marking a significant increase from the US$651.7 million recorded in 2024, according to the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) 2025 Investment Report. The report, titled \"Resetting Ghana’s Investment Landscape for Unlocking Opportunities in a Transforming Economy,\" was launched in Accra to assess Ghana's investment performance during a year characterized by macroeconomic stabilization, increased investor engagement, and expanding opportunities across various sectors.\n\nThe report highlighted that the 2025 period represented a turning point in Ghana's investment journey following extensive macroeconomic adjustments. This stabilization was attributed to targeted missions and strategic partnerships across key regions, including Asia, Europe, and Africa. New investments totaled 245 projects and capital injections into existing companies, reflecting sustained investor interest in Ghana. These new projects, particularly in the petroleum and free zones sectors, contributed substantially to the inflows, with capital injections accounting for the majority of the FDI.\n\nBalance of payments data indicated that FDIs rose to US$1.91 billion, with reinvested earnings (95.4%) being the primary driver. This strong investor retention and confidence were further evidenced by 181 new projects valued at US$1.4 billion. The Petroleum Commission led in terms of project count with 18 initiatives worth US$739 million, while the Ghana Free Zones Authority recorded 42 new capital investments valued at US$176 million.\n\nChina led the top sources by number of projects with 70, followed by India with 22, Nigeria with 10, the UAE with nine, and the United Kingdom with eight. The Cayman Islands topped in terms of FDI value with US$500 million, followed by China with US$486 million. The general trade sector saw 23 projects worth US$733 million, while Ghana secured a total of US$11.48 billion in announced and pipeline investments.\n\nLooking ahead, the report remains positive about Ghana's investment outlook despite global uncertainties. It noted that investment in Ghana remains promising despite these challenges. Overall, Ghana's 2025 growth recovery is attributed to a combination of favorable external conditions and improved domestic macroeconomic management. The broad-based expansion across agriculture, industry, and services reflects strengthening economic fundamentals and increased resilience, positioning Ghana as a competitive destination for long-term investors seeking access to both domestic and regional markets.",
  "summary": "The 2025 Report which will be launched in Accra today by the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority, assesses Ghana’s investment performance in a year, marked by macroeconomic stabilisation, renewed investor engagement and widening pipeline of sector opportunities.",
