The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, has urged the business community to prepare itself for the immense investment opportunities available as the economy stabilises.
He noted that Ghana’s economy is recovering and is rightly positioned as a preferred investment hub.
Speaking at the Invest Africa in partnership with Standard Chartered
Corporate Leaders, he said, “The Ghanaian economy is not only stabilising, it is opening up for quality investment. As confidence returns to our macroeconomic environment, we are seeing a clear window to reposition Ghana as a preferred investment destination in West Africa.”
He explained that this is because there is policy stability.
According to him, Ghana’s economic strategy is anchored on monetary discipline, fiscal prudence, and structural reform.
“This is not just about meeting IMF programme conditions; it’s about restoring credibility, rebuilding buffers, and laying the foundation for resilient, inclusive growth. The consistency of our recent policy moves from inflation targeting to FX market reform reflects this deeper shift.
“Second, our real sector fundamentals are strong. We recorded 5.7% GDP growth in 2024, and we are on track for 4.0% growth in 2025, even in a globally uncertain environment. Recovery in private sector credit, improving consumer demand, and expanding export earnings, particularly from gold, cocoa, and services, all point to a more diversified and opportunity-rich economic base,” the Governor added.
The Governor said the financial sector is stable and improving as Capital Adequacy Ratios have strengthened, reaching 15.8% in April 2025, even without regulatory relief.
“Liquidity levels are improving, and though non-performing loans remain elevated (23.6%), the effective provisioning of losses and BoG’s close supervisory role are helping restore resilience. We are also investing in digital finance, payments interoperability, and fintech innovation, not only to boost financial inclusion but to enhance systemic efficiency,” he said.
