Ghana is a country of 31 million people with a fast-growing, young, globally and digitally connected population. Many Ghanaians have strong personal or business ties to the United States, and a strong affinity for American brands and technology.

Ghana is the third largest U.S. export market for goods in Sub-Saharan Africa. 

• Beyond its traditional industries of agriculture, mining – and more recently, oil and gas production – Ghana’s digital, financial services, education, and franchising sectors are growing fast. 
• Ghana’s developing healthcare system, tourism sector, roads, rail, shipping, and port infrastructure offer opportunities for U.S. companies.
• Ghana’s Atlantic ports and daily direct flights from the United States make it an excellent platform for doing business in Africa. As the host to the new African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, Ghana is at the heart of Africa’s transformative regional integration and is a great place to launch your business strategy for the African continent. 
• In 2022, the country is experiencing a period of fiscal tightening as the government grapples with balancing its growing deficits and debt financing obligations. Nonetheless, Ghana’s medium- and long-term growth prospects remain strong.
