President John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians residing overseas to seize new investment opportunities in the nation, characterising the diaspora as an essential ally in Ghana’s vision for economic reform.
President Mahama reiterated that Ghana is open for business and prepared to welcome investors while speaking to members of the Ghanaian community in the UK and Ireland on the fringes of the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 in London.
The President stated that non-traditional exports in Ghana reached a record US$5 billion in 2025 as a result of his administration’s Reset Agenda.
The nation’s manufacturing sector is still growing, he continued, opening up new avenues for investment and economic expansion.
President Mahama claims that the manufacturing and export industries’ strong results show Ghana’s tenacity and preparedness to draw in both domestic and foreign investment.
He went on to highlight the significance of the Ghanaian diaspora in the country’s growth, referring to them as Ghana’s “17th region” and significant players in its advancement.
As a result, President Mahama urged Ghanaians living in the UK, Ireland, and other countries to support domestic development projects and invest in companies in order to contribute to the progress of their country.
“The door is open—come invest, come build, come home,” the president said.
The interaction was a component of the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026, which President Mahama attended with Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, and other government representatives looking to strengthen economic ties and draw investment to Ghana.
