Ghana’s wealth of resources, democratic political system and dynamic economy, makes it undoubtedly one of Africa’s leading lights. Gaining the world’s confidence with a peaceful political transition and a grounded and firm commitment to democracy has helped in expediting Ghana’s growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) in recent years. The country has attracted the attention of well-known international businesses, investing in all sectors of our economy. All these investors have come to Ghana because they know Ghana has a wonderful conducive social, political and economic environment in which they can invest, grow and be successful.

Ghana has recently embarked on an ambitious but achievable reform program to improve the investment climate for both local and international investors. These efforts have paid off tremendously with Ghana being ranked the best place for doing business in West Africa, ahead of Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire, according to the 2017 Ease of Doing Business Report.

To deepen the gains in business and investments, the Ministry for Business Development has been created to promote the private sector in Ghana the ministry was created under the Nana Akufo-Addo administration in 2017.
