On 21st April 2026, His Excellency Benjamin Anani Quashie, Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa, participated in the 2026 Ambassadors and Executives Networking Luncheon, held at CedarWoods of Sandton in Johannesburg.

The event brought together Heads of Mission, representatives of business chambers, Captains of Business, Industry and Commerce, as well as a broad cross-section of the South African public.

In Ghana’s intervention, High Commissioner Quashie highlighted Ghana’s economic and political credentials, emphasizing that the country’s stability continues to position it as one of the most investor-friendly destinations. He noted that Ghana is the largest producer of gold in Africa and the second-largest producer of cocoa in the region.

The High Commissioner also encouraged prospective investors to take advantage of Ghana’s favourable business environment, underscoring the direct engagement framework between the Government of Ghana and the private sector, as well as the tax incentives available to support enterprise. He further drew attention to the resilience of Ghana’s economy, including the successful and timely exit from an IMF-supported programme.

In addition, High Commissioner Quashie referenced President John Dramani Mahama’s Reset Agenda Programme and the World Bank’s projection that Ghana’s nominal GDP is expected to exceed USD 113 billion in 2026 as important reasons why investors should venture into the Ghanaian market.
