FDI inflows hit US$2.61bn in 2025 - GIPC

Simon Madjie, Chief Executive for Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), announced that provisional figures indicate that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Ghana reached US$2.61 billion in value in 2025. This is more than the US$652 million recorded in 2024. According to Mr. Madjie, "so far, we've seen in excess of US$2.6 billion FDI coming during the year 2025 and so that is an indication that indeed something is happening in the country".

Mr. Madjie said the development shows renewed investor interest in the economy, following significant improvements in macro-economic indicators such as inflation, interest rates, and the exchange rate. He added that the situation also gives a positive signal that investors are receiving the call that Ghana is opened for business as mentioned by the President John Mahama. The US$2.6 billion FDI is made up of about 253 new projects and existing companies verified across the GIPC platforms, the Petroleum Commission and the Ghana Freezones Authority.

The Ghana Free Zones Authority recorded the highest new projects of US$1.437 billion from 180 projects. For the period, GIPC registered 180 new investment projects. The Petroleum Commission had existing upstream companies of 18, injecting more investments whilst the Ghana Freezones Authority registered new capital investments. China continues to top the number of projects for the period followed by India. However, Cayman Island tops in FDI value followed by China. Mr. Madjie said, "I'm sure in a month or two, we'll release the full report on the FDI inflows which shows some good results for 2025."
