Mahama Opens Nasdaq Trading, Showcases Ghana’s Investment Reforms
On September 24, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in New York, marking a symbolic milestone in Ghana’s drive to attract global investment.
Mahama’s image, beamed across the iconic Nasdaq billboard in Times Square with the bold inscription “Ghana is Open for Business”, set the stage for the U.S.-Ghana Executive Business Roundtable.
The forum, jointly hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), brought together top executives and investors from the fintech, manufacturing, and energy sectors.
Reforms to Boost Competitiveness
At the roundtable, the Mahama administration highlighted recent reforms aimed at making Ghana one of Africa’s most competitive investment destinations. These include:
- Scrapping minimum capital requirements for foreign investors.
- Introducing a residency-by-investment programme, expected to attract long-term foreign participation in the economy.
The government projects that these measures could generate between $5 billion and $10 billion in investment inflows by 2028.
Global Stage for Ghana
President Mahama is in New York for the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), where he is expected to advocate for global financial reforms and push for deeper economic integration across Africa.
According to his government, the reforms form a crucial part of efforts to build long-term economic growth, resilience, and investor confidence in Ghana.
