Ghana

Ghana is one of West Africa's more developed and stable economies, a lower-middle-income country rich in gold, cocoa, and oil, though it has been hit by recurring debt crises, including a 2022 default.

A long-standing multiparty democracy, Ghana has substantial natural resources but has struggled with inflation and debt, requiring IMF support.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include gold mining (Ghana is among Africa's top producers), cocoa (a leading global exporter), oil and gas, and agriculture.
