Ghana falls 7 places in Global Mining Investment Attractiveness report
Ghana has slipped seven places in the latest Global Mining Investment Attractiveness Index, dropping from 46 out of 82 jurisdictions in 2024 to 53rd out of 68 in 2025.
In 2024, Ghana scored 56.98%, placing it 46th.
In 2025, the score dipped slightly to 55.21%, but the larger drop in ranking reflects significant gains by other countries assessed in the survey.
