Ghana Frontera

Panorama económico e industrial

Ghana is a lower-middle-income economy in West Africa with a diverse base spanning gold and cocoa exports, oil production, financial services, and a growing telecommunications sector. Nominal GDP reached approximately $82.8 billion in 2024 (World Bank), with real GDP growth of 5.6% in 2024 and 5.8% in 2025 driven by services and private consumption. The country completed a significant debt restructuring under an IMF Extended Credit Facility programme begun in 2023, which helped stabilise the cedi and bring inflation down sharply from a peak above 50% in 2022 to single digits by early 2026. The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), established in 1990, is the country's principal equity market, with current market capitalisation of approximately $25 billion (mid-2026). Key structural challenges include fiscal consolidation, high youth unemployment, and dependence on commodity export revenues.
