WHY GHANA 

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), West Africa is the world’s fastest-growing economy. Ghana, largely known as one of the world’s largest producers of cocoa, has stepped its oil and gas explorations, increasing the country’s economic profile further.

The International Monetary Fund estimates that Ghana’s GDP rose by 8.8% in 2019, outperforming nearly all emerging and developed economies.

The government’s investments into infrastructure, rapid urbanisation and the rise of the energy, green energy and 4IR sector continue to spur demand for the country’s construction sector.

Recent developments in the country have given birth to a boom in building and construction, including the commercial, residential and public housing sector, generating and injecting billions of dollars which are injected annually into the West African republic. The real estate market’s positive perspective and attraction is based on Ghana's central African location and its political stability. An increasing number of the Ghanaian nationals across the globe invest in properties and the Ghana government is supportive of the private sector trend.
