Ghanaian investors are being encouraged to take advantage of Liberia’s expanding investment opportunities as part of efforts to strengthen intra-African trade and foster mutual economic growth.
Speaking at the 2025 Liberia Investment Conference in Accra, Liberia’s Ambassador to Ghana, Musu Jatu Rhule, identified key sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure as promising areas for investment.
She emphasised Liberia’s readiness to welcome Ghanaian businesses seeking to expand across borders.
“We have banks that are based here in Ghana — four or five of them — that are also registered in Liberia,” she noted. “We are looking for more opportunities with Ghanaian business people. That’s why we are holding this conference in Ghana: to show them what’s possible.”
She added that several Ghanaian entrepreneurs already operating in Liberia are serving as ambassadors of success, sharing positive experiences to encourage new entrants.
“The goal is to attract new investors. We always discuss this at the grassroots level. The business environment is evolving — you no longer need to go through embassies to gauge the market. It’s about partnerships and open dialogue,” she said.
A tax expert from the Liberia Revenue Authority, Paul Hinneh also highlighted Liberia’s investor-friendly tax regime, stressing that the country offers reduced tax rates and long-term contract guarantees to incentivize foreign businesses.
“One of our key mechanisms is through our tax laws,” the official explained. “We provide special, reduced rates and offer long-term contracts or concessions. Once an agreement is signed — for 10 years, for instance — it remains binding regardless of political changes or legal reforms. Your investment is protected.”
The conference was held under the theme “Unlocking Investment Potential in Liberia for Sustainable Economic Growth” and brought together policymakers, business leaders, and potential investors to explore collaborative ventures between Ghana and Liberia.
