Special Topic: FDI Trends in Ghana



Ghana is experiencing increased global attention as a result of hosting this year's Africa Cup and the upcoming UNCTAD XII/WAIPA meetings. This attention comes at a time when the country has had strong GDP growth and significant increases in FDI inflows. In fact, UNCTAD reports that FDI flows into Ghana have tripled from 2005 to US$435 million in 2006. In addition, the government has been active in improving the country's business environment and has been a top ten reformer globally for the second year in a row, according to the World Bank's Doing Business team.

Ghana, a natural resource rich country, is home to a variety of sectors including agribusiness, tourism, manufacturing, infrastructure, and services among others.
