Ghana’s strategic economic agenda across 12 vital growth sectors is receiving major global coverage following a flagship partnership between state investment leadership and international intelligence providers. The official Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign will feature President John Dramani Mahama alongside top public and private sector leaders in a high-impact video series produced by Oxford Business Group (OBG).
12 Priority Sectors Targeted in Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG Campaign
This multi-platform digital initiative will spotlight high-growth developments across agriculture, financial services, information and communications technology (ICT), energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, tourism, mining, transport, education, utilities, and entrepreneurship.
By leveraging international business distribution networks, the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign aims to communicate the nation’s macroeconomic trajectory and emerging project pipelines directly to institutional investors across global capital markets. Developed under the direct patronage of President Mahama, the broadcast series will culminate in a comprehensive documentary bringing together insights from government ministers, industry executives, and private-sector stakeholders.
The series follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between OBG and state investment leadership. Through the partnership, state authorities will collaborate with OBG to produce and distribute content worldwide across leading market intelligence networks, including Bloomberg, Refinitiv, Dow Jones Factiva, S&P Capital IQ, and LexisNexis.
Strengthening Global Investor Confidence Under the GIPA Act
Speaking on the strategic value of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign, Chief Executive Officer of GIPA Simon Madjie emphasized the importance of transparent messaging in attracting sustainable foreign direct investment (FDI).
“Ghana has opportunities across a wide range of sectors, and it is important that these are communicated clearly to investors and business leaders internationally,” Madjie stated. “Through this series of Global Platform videos, we will highlight the country’s investment priorities, the work of its institutions and the sectors that can support future growth.”
The international promotion drive builds upon OBG’s long-standing research presence in West Africa, where the research consultancy has published macroeconomic analysis since 2011. Furthermore, the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign aligns with recent institutional updates under the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority Act, 2026 (Act 1173), which strengthened state capacity to regulate, facilitate, and protect international commercial ventures.
Ramona Tarta, OBG’s Regional Director for West Africa, noted that the video platform provides direct access to international decision-makers. “OBG has covered Ghana’s economy for more than a decade, and this collaboration with GIPA builds on that experience. The Global Platform videos will bring together insights from public- and private-sector leaders, helping international audiences understand the developments and opportunities shaping Ghana’s investment environment,” Tarta explained.
Positioning Ghana as a Regional Commercial Hub
By presenting multi-sector opportunities to international audiences, the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign supports broader economic policies aimed at transforming the country into an industrial and financial center within the West African sub-region.
As foreign enterprises seek stable, high-yield markets within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), maintaining consistent messaging through the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign remains essential for driving long-term capital inflows, accelerating local industrialization, and creating sustainable domestic employment.
Through structured reporting and high-level media coverage, the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority OBG campaign provides international capital markets with an authoritative roadmap of the country’s economic priorities, regulatory protections, and strategic growth opportunities.
