Analysis# Ghana Total Investment
Ghana's total investment stood at 12.578% of GDP in 2026, representing a significant decline from its 2010 peak of 45.718% of GDP. The country has experienced a 67.5% decrease in investment levels since 2004, with the metric hitting an all-time low of 9.9% in 2023. Current investment levels remain substantially below historical averages across the two-decade data range.
A sharp contraction occurred between 2017 and 2023, when investment dropped from 19.566% to 9.9% of GDP—a dramatic 49% decline over six years. However, recent data suggests stabilization and modest recovery. Investment has edged upward from the 2023 low, reaching 12.578% by 2026. This recovery trajectory, though gradual, indicates potential stabilization in Ghana's investment climate following years of sustained decline.
