  "summary": "<report 014b466d-3f3> reveals that private remittance inflows to Ghana dropped marginally to US$3.65 billion in the first half of 2026, slightly below the US$3.93 billion recorded in the same period of 2025. The Bank of Ghana reported that net income payments to non-residents increased to US$2.88 billion, driven by higher interest, profit, and dividend payments. Additionally, the capital account saw net transfers of US$94.07 million, primarily due to project grants. The financial account recorded a net acquisition of financial assets of US$4.90 billion, up from US$4.27 billion in 2025, reflecting higher reinvested earnings. Overall, Ghana maintained a net lending position with the rest of the world, with surpluses in both the current and capital accounts totaling US$5.20 billion.",
