President John Dramani Mahama on September 24, 2025, rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in New York, showcasing Ghana’s commitment to attracting international investment.
His image appeared on the iconic Nasdaq billboard in Times Square alongside the message: “Ghana is Open for Business.”
The ceremony preceded the U.S.-Ghana Executive Business Roundtable, co-hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), which brought together top executives and investors from the fintech, manufacturing, and energy sectors.
At the forum, President Mahama outlined reforms aimed at enhancing Ghana’s competitiveness, including the removal of minimum capital requirements for foreign investors and the introduction of a residency-by-investment program.
The initiative is expected to attract between $5 billion and $10 billion in inflows by 2028.
President Mahama is in New York for the 80th United Nations General Assembly, where he will advocate for global financial reforms and deeper economic integration across Africa.
His government has framed these reforms as pivotal to building long-term growth, resilience, and investor confidence.
