President Mahama Visits London Stock Exchange to Promote Ghana as Top Investment Destination

President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday paid a visit to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s engagement with global investors and position the country as a leading destination for international capital.

The visit forms part of the President’s broader investment promotion agenda during his engagements in the United Kingdom and underscores Ghana’s commitment to attracting foreign direct investment, deepening capital market development, and fostering stronger partnerships with global financial institutions.

President Mahama was accompanied by a high-level government delegation comprising the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson; the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry; the Minister for Foreign Affairs; the Governor of the Bank of Ghana; Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom; and other senior government officials.

During the visit, the President engaged with key stakeholders and market leaders at the London Stock Exchange on issues relating to investment flows, financial market development, and opportunities for international investors seeking to expand their presence in Africa.

The discussions also focused on strengthening Ghana’s access to global capital markets, enhancing investor confidence, and showcasing the country’s ongoing economic reforms aimed at creating a more competitive and business-friendly environment.

The London Stock Exchange remains one of the world’s leading financial marketplaces, providing access to international capital and serving as a major hub for investment into emerging and frontier markets.

President Mahama’s visit highlights Ghana’s determination to leverage strategic partnerships with global financial institutions to drive economic transformation, support private sector growth, and accelerate sustainable development.

Government officials say the engagement is expected to contribute to ongoing efforts to attract investment into key sectors of the economy, including infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, technology, agribusiness, and financial services.

The visit also reinforces Ghana’s ambition to strengthen its position as a preferred gateway for trade and investment into Africa while creating opportunities for economic growth, job creation, and long-term prosperity.
