At the bustling Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026, President John Dramani Mahama stood before a room of eager investors and dignitaries, his message clear: the economic partnership between Ghana and the United Kingdom is entering a new era.
The President shared a milestone that brought pride to both nations: annual bilateral trade now surpasses £1.5 billion. Yet, he was quick to remind the audience that this achievement was just the beginning. “This only scratches the surface of what is possible,” Mahama asserted, his vision firmly fixed on the future.
He painted a picture of a rapidly changing world, where global businesses are reevaluating their supply chains and searching for resilient, promising destinations for investment. In this landscape, Ghana, Mahama argued, stands out. Political stability, a strong democratic tradition, and a strategic location are just some of the qualities making the country an attractive choice for international investors. Ongoing reforms to strengthen macroeconomic fundamentals further sweeten the deal.
“In that changing global landscape, Ghana offers something increasingly valuable: political stability, democratic maturity, strategic geographical access, improving macroeconomic fundamentals, and a government committed to creating a transparent and investor-friendly business environment,” the President told the summit.
Mahama emphasized that the Ghana-UK partnership has grown far beyond its historical roots. Today, it is a multifaceted relationship spanning trade, innovation, education, and shared democratic values.
Looking ahead, he called for collaboration in critical sectors such as manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, agribusiness, renewable energy, financial services, pharmaceuticals, tourism, education, and the digital economy. “This Summit is therefore not simply a networking event. It is a platform for building long-term partnerships capable of delivering jobs, innovation, industrial growth and shared prosperity,” he declared.
With these words, President Mahama invited both countries to seize the opportunity and forge an even stronger economic future together.
