GHANA has recorded a strong economic recovery, positioning itself as one of Africa’s most attractive destinations for investment, according to remarks made at the Ghana Business Breakfast Meeting held in London on 29 January 2026.
Delivering the keynote address, H.E. Mrs. Sabah Zita Benson said Ghana’s renewed economic strength reflects disciplined reforms and visionary leadership under President John Dramani Mahama.
She noted that Ghana has become a trusted partner of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other Bretton Woods institutions, a sign of growing global confidence in the country’s economic direction.
According to Mrs. Benson, Ghana recorded real GDP growth of over 5 percent in 2025, outperforming regional averages. Key drivers of growth include agriculture, services, trade, and export-oriented industries, supported by ongoing fiscal consolidation.
She explained that Ghana has moved decisively from economic instability to stabilization and strategic rebuilding. Government policies are now focused on restoring mac-roeconomic stability, strengthening institutions, and creating a predictable environment for long-term private investment.
The address also highlighted Ghana’s modern financial systems, particularly the Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems (GhIPSS), which enables secure and efficient digital transactions. These systems reduce settlement risks and support real-time, cross-border business operations.
Mrs. Benson emphasized that Ghana’s democratic governance, independent judiciary, and strong regulatory institutions continue to provide certainty and protection for investors. She concluded that the data clearly shows Ghana is on a solid path toward sustainable growth and long-term prosperity.
