FDI Surge! Ghana Attracts $378M in Q3 2025—Foreign Investors Dominate as Local Input Stays Low. Manufacturing Booms, Accra Leads the Way!
In the third quarter of 2025, the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) flowing into Ghana increased to a total of 378 million US dollars. The Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC) reported that overseas investors were responsible for the majority of this growth, accounting for 377.63 million US dollars, while local investors contributed a total of 2.62 million US dollars. The 41 projects that were completely owned by foreign interests accounted for a total of 53 projects and were valued at 371.18 million U.S. dollars, whilst the 12 joint ventures were valued at a total of 6.45 million U.S. dollars. Manufacturing was the most prominent, with thirty-four projects and the largest investment value, surpassing services, agriculture, general commerce, export trade, construction, and tourism by a wide margin; general trade attracted twenty-one million dollars in investment, while export trade attracted twelve million dollars. The Greater Accra Region was the focus of 41 projects, further solidifying its position as the nation’s industrial center. In contrast, the other regions had very little development. According to the analysts, the data demonstrates that the nation of Ghana continues to depend on foreign capital, that manufacturing is becoming more important, and that indigenous investors are not participating to a significant degree despite attempts to stabilize the economy.
