President John Mahama has revealed that bilateral trade between Ghana and the United Kingdom now exceeds £1.5 billion annually, underscoring the growing economic relationship between the two countries.
Speaking at the Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 on Monday, June 1, President Mahama said the evolving global economic landscape presents a significant opportunity for Ghana to position itself as a preferred destination for investment and business growth.
“In that changing global landscape, Ghana offers something increasingly valuable: political stability, democratic maturity, strategic geographical access, improving macroeconomic fundamentals and a government committed to creating a transparent and investor-friendly business environment. Today, bilateral trade between our two countries exceeds 1.5 billion pounds annually. But I believe this only scratches the surface of what is possible”.
Further, President Mahama also highlighted the strength of the Ghana-UK partnership, describing it as a relationship that has grown beyond historical ties to include trade, innovation, education, investment and shared democratic values.
“Let’s focus future collaboration on key sectors such as manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, agribusiness, renewable energy, financial services, pharmaceuticals, tourism, education and the digital economy. This summit is therefore not simply a networking event. It is a platform for building long-term partnerships capable of delivering jobs, innovation, industrial growth and shared prosperity,” he added.
