Inflation, which peaked at 54% in December 2022, is expected to decline to 11.5% by 2025, improving consumer purchasing power and economic stability. Key growth sectors, including manufacturing, oil and gas, renewable energy, agribusiness, and technology, continue to attract significant investments. Ghana’s political stability and history of peaceful transitions bolster investor confidence, contributing to increased foreign direct investment. The Ghanaian cedi is anticipated to stabilise, with an expected exchange rate of GH¢16.60/$ by the end of 2025.
