In 2025, Ghana recorded some $2.61 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows.
The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) made this known in its latest provisional data.
According to the data, the $2.61 billion was recorded across 253 projects and existing companies.
The $2.61 billion exceeds the $652 million recorded in 2024.
The GIPC believes the gains in 2025 underscore renewed investor interest in the Ghanaian economy, coming on the back of significant improvements in inflationary pressures and currency stability during 2025.
The figures, compiled from the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Petroleum Commission, and Ghana Free Zones Authority, show that new projects registered under the GIPC accounted for the largest share of inflows at US$1.437 billion from 180 projects.
Existing upstream petroleum companies recorded US$994 million in investments, while new investments under the Free Zones Authority contributed US$165 million. Additional equity inflows into existing firms stood at US$14 million.
The data also points to strong reinvestment activity by companies already operating in the country.
Out of the US$1.92 billion captured by the Bank of Ghana, about US$1.83 billion came from reinvested earnings, indicating that firms already established in Ghana are retaining profits and expanding operations instead of exiting the market.
China emerged as the leading source country by number of projects, accounting for 70 projects.
India followed with 22 projects, while Nigeria recorded 10 projects. The United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom registered 9 and 8 projects, respectively.
However, by investment value, the Cayman Islands ranked first with US$500 million, narrowly ahead of China at US$486 million.
Nigeria contributed US$105 million in investment value, while France-Nigeria partnerships accounted for US$100 million. The United States followed with US$51 million.
