The Economic Development Board (EDB) Mauritius will host a high-level business forum in Accra on Friday, May 22, 2026. This event is a collaboration with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
The forum, themed ‘Mauritius: Your Strategic Platform for Ghanaian Capital, Growth and Global Expansion,’ aims to connect Mauritian financial institutions with Ghanaian business leaders. Senior representatives from both nations will attend. The event targets C-suite executives and investors.
This forum is part of a broader initiative across West Africa. Mauritius is visiting Lagos and Abidjan before Accra. Ghana is the final stop. This highlights Ghana’s growing importance as an investment hub. The Ghanaian economy is showing signs of recovery. Investor interest is rising. This creates opportunities for cross-border capital flow.
Mauritius is an International Financial Centre. It offers a regulated platform for investments. Ghanaian businesses can use it for global market access. Around 20 Mauritian financial firms will participate. These include banks and fund managers. They offer various financing solutions. These cater to short, medium, and long-term needs.
The forum will emphasize Ghana’s financial services sector. Banking, investment funds, and fintech firms are key targets. The goal is to secure concrete outcomes. This includes signing Memoranda of Understanding and Term Sheets. These agreements will facilitate ongoing investment activity.
Dr. The Honourable Mrs. Jyoti Jeetun, Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning of Mauritius, will attend. This shows Mauritius' commitment to Ghana. Mr. Simon Madjie, CEO of GIPC, will also be present. His attendance signals government endorsement of the initiative.
The EDB Mauritius works to promote the nation as an investment centre. It supports export competitiveness. GIPC, Ghana's investment promotion agency, works to attract and facilitate investments. The cooperation aims to enhance capital flows and business growth.
