Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama said his government would seek more than $9 billion in investment between 2027 and 2030 under its New Economy programme. He said the finance minister would give details in the 2027 budget.

Speaking at the Hogbetsotso Festival in Anloga, Mahama identified textiles, garments, commercial farming, hospitality and tourism as areas where the programme could benefit the Volta Region, the Ghana News Agency reported on 8 November. The figure is an investment target.

Ghana’s Ministry of Finance said in September that consultations with the trade ministry were underway and cited an earlier figure of $10 billion. An adviser later discussed a five-year investment framework with a substantial share for agriculture and processing.

The latest speech sets out a four-year window. The Ghana News Agency account did not specify how much of the investment would come from the budget or from private sources.
