ACCRA, Ghana – 26th February 2026 –The American Chamber of Commerce in Ghana (AmCham Ghana), in collaboration with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), hosted the first of AmCham’s US-Ghana Commercial Dialogue series, bringing together public and private sector leaders to deepen U.S.–Ghana investment partnerships and explore new growth opportunities.

AmCham CEO, Doris Kafui Afanyedey, reiterated that AmCham Ghana will continue to act as a structured bridge between private sector realities and public policy ambition. She emphasized that the Chamber would continue to advocate and convene constructive dialogue with governmental organizations that will lead to solutions. AmCham Ghana represents companies that collectively account for significant capital, employment, technology transfer, and tax contributions to the Ghana economy, and as captive investment partners, members need to be clear on how their investment can be protected.

The forum featured a keynote presentation by the Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, Mr. Simon Madjie, who provided insights into Ghana’s economic outlook and the country’s positioning as a preferred investment destination in Africa.

Ghana’s economy is projected to reach US$112 billion in 2025, with an expected 5.8% growth rate, supported by improving macroeconomic indicators. Inflation has declined to 3.8% as of January 2026, reflecting ongoing efforts to stabilize the economy and strengthen investor confidence.

Speaking at the forum, Mr. Madjie highlighted Ghana’s strong fundamentals, including its stable democratic environment, strategic location for global trade, and access to major international markets through frameworks such as AfCFTA, AGOA, and bilateral trade agreements.

Mr. Madjie further emphasised Ghana’s growing role as a commercial hub in Africa, supported by strong capital markets, investor-friendly policies, and the free repatriation of profits, dividends, and capital.

Trade relations between Ghana and the United States continue to strengthen, with total bilateral trade reaching US$2.5 billion in 2025, underscoring the depth of economic engagement between both countries.

The forum also highlighted significant investment opportunities across key sectors of the economy, including agriculture and agro-processing, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, digital services, tourism, and real estate. These sectors present strong potential for value creation, job generation, and export growth.

A major point of discussion was the government’s flagship “Big Push” infrastructure programme, including the development of the Accra–Kumasi Expressway, aimed at improving logistics efficiency, reducing transport costs, and unlocking new industrial and commercial corridors.

The engagement forms part of AmCham Ghana’s ongoing efforts to provide a platform for dialogue between the government and the private sector, with a focus on strengthening investor confidence, addressing business challenges, and advancing sustainable economic growth.

Joining Mr. Madjie from the GIPC were Emmanuel Osei Head of Technology Transfer Agreements Department, Eugenia Okyere the Head of Research and International Cooperation, Zainabu Issah, the Public Relations Officer, and Peter Adu, a member of the Marketing and Communication team
