-In Accra to Attract Regional Investors
The Liberian government has announced plans to hold its first major investment conference in Accra, Ghana, on May 15-16, 2025, as part of efforts to boost foreign investment and strengthen economic ties within West Africa. Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Liberia in Ghana, the event will bring together government officials, investors, and business leaders under the theme “Unlocking Liberia’s Investment Potential for Sustainable Economic Growth.”
Liberia’s Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Musu Jatu Ruhle, stated that the conference will serve as a strategic platform to showcase Liberia’s business opportunities, highlight recent reforms, and encourage private-sector partnerships. Key sectors to be promoted include agriculture, energy, tourism, telecommunications, and infrastructure—all critical to Liberia’s economic growth and job creation.
The event will feature high-level panel discussions with Liberian ministers and industry experts, sector-specific presentations, and a Liberia-Ghana Trade & Culture Expo to highlight investment prospects. Additionally, B2B matchmaking sessions will connect investors with local businesses to facilitate deals.
A major focus will be on agriculture and agribusiness, given Liberia’s vast arable land and favorable climate. The government is seeking investments in rice, cocoa, oil palm, cassava, and fisheries to enhance food security and rural development. Recent business climate improvements, including tax incentives and regulatory reforms, will also be highlighted to reassure potential investors.
Holding the conference in Accra—a regional financial hub—reflects Liberia’s push for stronger economic integration with neighboring Ghana. The move aligns with President Joseph Boakai’s broader agenda to attract foreign capital, modernize infrastructure, and reduce reliance on aid.
Interested investors can register through the Liberian Embassy in Ghana or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Monrovia. The government hopes the event will translate into concrete investment commitments that drive long-term growth.
