Accra, June 8, GNA – The Minister for Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Ghana have assured international investors of the country’s commitment to economic reforms, stability, and sustainable growth, urging them to take advantage of emerging investment opportunities.
A statement issued in Accra by the Ghana International Bank (GHIB) said the assurance was given at a high-level breakfast meeting organised by GHIB and the Ghana High Commission to the United Kingdom and Ireland on the sidelines of the Ghana-UK Investment Summit in London.
The meeting brought together international investors, bankers, policymakers, and major global financial institutions, particularly those operating within the City of London, the United Kingdom’s financial hub.
Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minister for Finance, outlined Ghana’s progress in restoring macroeconomic stability through debt restructuring, enhanced fiscal discipline and improved public financial management systems.
He said the government had implemented critical reforms aimed at rebuilding investor confidence and positioning the country for sustainable economic growth.
“Ghana is undertaking critical reforms to stabilise the economy, rebuild confidence and position the country for sustainable growth,” Dr Forson said.
He noted that the reform programme was designed not only to stabilise the economy but also to lay the foundation for long-term transformation and prosperity.
The Finance Minister used the occasion to reaffirm Ghana’s readiness for investment and partnership.
“Ghana is reforming. Ghana is stabilising. Ghana is transforming, and Ghana is ready. Ready for investment. Ready for partnership. Ready for opportunity,” he said.
Dr Forson also highlighted the importance of institutions that facilitate cross-border trade and finance, describing GHIB as a strategic asset within Ghana’s financial ecosystem.
“Ghana continues to maintain institutions such as GHIB as strategic assets within its financial ecosystem,” he said.
“These institutions play a vital role in connecting African economies, including Ghana, to global markets,” he added.
The Finance Minister reaffirmed Ghana’s readiness for investment and partnership.
Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, complemented the Minister’s remarks by highlighting measures taken by the central bank to strengthen financial sector resilience and enhance transparency.
He said the Bank’s policy actions and regulatory reforms were aimed at creating a stable and predictable environment for businesses and investors.
Dr Asiama, who is also the Chairman of the Board of GHIB, underscored the importance of economic diversification and competitiveness, identifying agriculture, energy, infrastructure, and digital innovation as key sectors with significant investment potential.
He said international capital could play a transformative role in supporting Ghana’s development ambitions across these sectors.
