Ghana has recorded a remarkable boost in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) despite global economic uncertainties, according to the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre’s (GIPC) 1st Half 2025 FDI Report.

By the end of June 2025, the GIPC registered 76 new projects with an estimated total FDI value of US$862.96 million.

This represents a 381.91% increase, compared to the US$179.07 million recorded during the same period in 2024.

The manufacturing sector accounted for the largest number of projects, registering 32, while general trading attracted the highest value of FDI, totaling US$622.92 million.

According to the report, the registered projects are expected to create approximately 4,707 jobs once fully operational, highlighting the potential impact of these investments on employment and economic growth.

The GIPC described the performance as evidence of Ghana’s resilience and growing attractiveness as an investment destination, even against the backdrop of a challenging global investment environment.

China topped the list of projects in Ghana within the first half of the year with 22 projects, followed by India with 14 projects, Nigeria with 8, and the UAE and the UK with 4 each.

The USA came in the 6th position with three projects; Liberia, Mauritius, Singapore, and Turkey all recorded two projects each in the first half of the year.
