Ghana

Business Indicators

With an overall score of 7.4/12 Ghana is progressing toward standard on the economic, legal, and political indicators that make up our Business Index. Ghana has a market-based, but statist economy where total government expenditure, including consumption and transfer payments, is moderate. Government spending equaled 33.3 percent of GDP, and 6.3 percent of government revenues came from state-owned enterprises and government ownership of property. Ghana provides equal treatment for foreign and domestic investors, but there are restrictions on foreign investment in certain sectors. While setting up a business is very complex, the government is working to improve the investment environment and offers a variety of tax incentives. Secured interests in property are protected, and intellectual property rights protection is in development. Corruption is manageable, as reflected in Ghana's ranking of 69th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index.
