Accra, May 17, GNA- The Economic Development Board (EDB) Mauritius, in partnership with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, (GIPC) will host a high-level closed Business Forum in Accra on Friday, May 22, 2026, to strengthen investment, trade and economic cooperation between Mauritius and Ghana.
The Forum on the theme: “Mauritius: Your Strategic Platform for Ghanaian Capital, Growth and Global Expansion”, will convene senior representatives from leading Mauritian financial institutions alongside Ghana’s top business executives, investors, and policymakers for a structured programme of strategic sessions and direct engagement.
A statement issued in Accra said the event would was open to C-Suite executives, directors, senior partners, prominent investors, and relevant government and institutional stakeholders by invitation.
It said the Accra Forum would form part of a wider three-country corridor initiative spanning Lagos (May 18), Abidjan (May 21), and Accra (22nd May), reflecting the EDB Mauritius’ commitment to deepening investment linkages across West Africa’s most influential economic centres.
“Ghana’s inclusion as the concluding stop on this corridor underscores its standing as a stable, high-growth investment destination of increasing regional significance,” the statement said.
It added that the forum arrives at a pivotal moment for Ghana’s economy, following a period of macroeconomic adjustment, Ghana’s financial sector and broader business environment were experiencing a measurable resurgence in investor interest, project development activity, and appetite for cross-border capital.
“EDB Mauritius intends to be an active partner in that recovery and growth trajectory,” it said.
The statement said Mauritius offered Ghanaian businesses a proven and well-regulated platform for structuring cross-border investments, preserving capital, and accessing international markets.
The delegation arriving in Accra will comprise senior representatives from approximately 20 Mauritian financial institutions, including Tier-1 banks, fund managers, corporate service providers, and regulated wealth management firms, each with demonstrated capacity across debt capital, equity capital, mezzanine, blended, and bridge financing structures.
The forum will present Ghanaian enterprises with direct access to financing solutions across short, medium, and long-term horizons, alongside pathways to fund domiciliation, asset management, insurance, venture capital, private equity, and capital markets structuring through the Mauritius jurisdiction.
It said while the forum’s scope spans multiple industries, including oil and gas, agriculture, renewable energy, manufacturing, and engineering, the programme would carry a concentrated focus on Ghana’s financial services sector.
It said banking institutions, investment funds, insurance companies, fintech firms, law firms, and accountancy practices were among the priority participants the Mauritian delegation is seeking to engage in substantive, outcome-oriented discussions.
The statement said the objective was not merely introductory engagement. Preferred outcomes from the forum include executed Memoranda of Understanding, Term Sheets, and Letters of Intent that lay the foundation for recurring cross-border investment activity between Mauritius and Ghana.
The Forum will be attended by Dr. Mrs. Jyoti Jeetun, Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning of the Republic of Mauritius, whose participation at the highest level of government reflects Mauritius’ strategic intent and long-term commitment to the Ghanaian market.
The forum will also be attended by Mr. Simon Madjie, the Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, whose participation as supporting partner underscores the Ghanaian government’s endorsement of the initiative.
