加纳总统约翰·德拉马尼·马哈马阁下鼓励中国企业在加纳加大投资，那里有可持续的和平和有利的经商环境。

马哈马总统表示，加纳政府的重置议程为能源、农业综合企业、制造业和技术等许多行业开放了投资，并补充说该国的现有法律保护外国企业。目前加纳和中国之间的双边贸易额超过 110 亿美元，中国对加纳经济的投资达到约40亿美元。

在中国北京举行的一天的总统投资论坛上，马哈马总统发表讲话。

展览

论坛前，马哈马总统参观了由加纳工业协会、加纳出口促进局、加纳投资促进中心（GIPC）、加纳自由区委员会、Jospong 集团公司、国家投资银行等成员安装的各个展台。

有兴趣在加纳投资的中国企业家参加了此次活动，会议礼堂座无虚席，甚至有很多企业家站着参会，活动向企业家们展示了加纳的投资机会。

该论坛由加纳贸易、农业综合企业和工业部（MOTAI）、加纳外交部（MOFA）、加纳出口促进局（GEPA）、加纳自由区管理局（GFZA），和中非贸易理事会合作举办，是一个深化加纳与中国经济合作的战略平台。

活动还成为加纳吸引制造业、能源、技术等领域高影响力投资的更广泛议程的一部分。

转型

马哈马总统将中国过去四十年的转型描述为现代史上令人瞩目的故事之一，将他们的成功归功于创新、纪律和富有远见的领导力，并表示中国已展示当国家目标与长期规划保持一致时，中国是可能的。

马哈马邀请中国商界与政府合作，制定植根于重置加纳的转型议程：加纳是非洲大陆自由贸易区（AfCTA）的东道国，政府正在进行多项改革，将加纳定位为通往西非和非洲市场的门户。

机会

加纳投资促进中心首席执行官 Simon Madjie先生提到了加纳的各种投资机会以及保护企业的法律，呼吁中国企业与加纳合作，将加纳转变为非洲电动汽车（EV）制造、组装和维护中心。

Madjie 先生表示，加纳希望到 2045 年实现约 70% 的电动汽车采用率，并在 2028 年之前建立 1,000 个充电站：“截至 2025 年 8 月，仅安装了 7 个公共充电站。我们邀请您投资这个新兴市场。“

在北京的演讲建立在加纳投资促进中心早些时候，在日本和新加坡的高级别接触的基础上，旨在促进加纳的 “重置议程”。

Madjie 先生还强调了 24 小时经济和加速发展计划下的沃尔特经济走廊，以及大推动议程及其相关投资机会。

合作关系

加纳贸易、农业综合企业和工业部长 Elizabeth Ofosu Adjare 女士表示，加纳政府正在寻求更牢固的伙伴关系，以创造就业机会、提高技能并扩大技术采用。

加纳外交部长塞缪尔·奥库泽托·阿布拉夸也表示，加纳的投资是安全的，并向中国商界保证，政府将保护所有合法的中国企业。

President Mahama Encourages Chinese Businesses to Invest in Ghana

President John Dramani Mahama has encouraged Chinese businesses to invest more in Ghana, where there is sustainable peace and a conducive environment in doing business.

He said the government's Reset Agenda had opened up many sectors like energy, agribusiness, manufacturing and technology for investments, adding that existing laws in the country protected foreign businesses.

President Mahama said currently bilateral trade between Ghana and China was over $11 billion, with Chinese investments in Ghana’s economy hitting about $4 billion.  

He was speaking at a day’s Presidential Investment Forum in Beijing, China. 

Exhibition

Prior to the forum, President Mahama toured various exhibition stands mounted by members of the Association of Ghana Industries, the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), the Ghana Free Zones Board, the Jospong Group of Companies, the National Investment Bank, among others.

The event was attended by Chinese businessmen and women who expressed interest in investing in Ghana.

The auditorium for the programme was full to capacity, with some standing, as investment opportunities in Ghana were unveiled to them.

Organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MOTAI), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), the Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA) and the China-Africa Business Council, the forum served as a strategic platform to deepen economic cooperation between Ghana and China.

It also formed part of Ghana’s broader agenda to attract high-impact investments in manufacturing, energy, technology, among others.

Transformation

President Mahama described China's transformation over the past four decades as one of the remarkable stories in modern history.

He attributed their success to innovation, discipline and visionary leadership, saying China had demonstrated what was possible when national purpose aligned with long-term planning.

The President extended an invitation to the Chinese business community to partner the government in its transformation agenda rooted in resetting Ghana.

By Ghana being the host of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA), President Mahama said the government was undertaking a number of reforms to position the country as a gateway to West Africa and Africa markets.

Opportunities

The Chief Executive of GIPC, Simon Madjie, mentioned various investment opportunities in Ghana and the laws that protected businesses.

He called on Chinese companies to partner with Ghana to transform the country into an African hub of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, assembling and maintenance.

Mr Madjie said Ghana wanted to achieve approximately 70 per cent EV adoption by 2045 and establish 1,000 charging stations by 2028.

“As of August 2025, only seven public charging stations have been installed. We invite you to invest in this emerging market,” he said.

The presentation in Beijing builds on GIPC’s earlier high-level engagements in Japan and Singapore, aimed at promoting Ghana’s Reset Agenda.

He also emphasised the Volta Economic Corridor under the 24-Hour Economic and Accelerated Development Programme as well as the Big Push Agenda and its related investment opportunities.

Partnership

The Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu Adjare, said the government was seeking stronger partnership that would create jobs, enhance skills and expand technology adoption.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, also said that Ghana was safe for investments and assured the Chinese business community that the government would protect all legitimate Chinese businesses.
