Africa receives $83bn in FDI inflows; a record increment of $39bn in 2021

Foreign Direct Investment [FDI] inflows to Africa reached $83 billion in 2021 according to the newly published 2022 World Investment Report.

Per the report, the recorded $83 billion FDI inflows marks a record high of $44bn and up from the recorded $39 billion FDI in 2020.

According to the 2022 World Investment Report, the $83 billion FDI inflows to Africa represents 5.2% of global FDI.

For the West African sub-region, increased by 48% to $14 billion.

Nigeria was the highest beneficiaries with FDI flows doubling to $4.8 billion, mainly because of  the resurgence in oil investment and expansion in gas.  

FDI flows to Ghana increased by 39% to $2.6 billion for the year 2021, this placed Ghana 2nd in West Africa, and 7th in Africa in terms of FDI attraction.

The rise in Ghana’s FDI flows was attributed to major projects in its extractive industries,  which included; the construction of an $850 million gold mining facility by Newmont Corp,  and the construction of a cement factory by Ciment d’Afrique (CIMAF) for $436 million. 

The increase in FDI flows reflects the findings of the Deloitte 2022 Africa Investment Attractiveness Index, which placed Ghana as the second most appealing destination for  investments in Africa based on the comments of nearly 200 CEOs. 

In recent years, the government through the GIPC has made FDI attraction a priority by  improving investment attraction strategy to a more proactive one. It has also spurred private sector investment through the Ghana Covid 19 Alleviation and Revitalization of  Enterprises (CARES) program – a 100bn Ghana Cedis economic response program, aimed  at supporting the private sector in targeted sectors, to accelerate growth and stabilize the Ghanaian economy. 

In addition to encouraging private sector investments, the government has been working  to eliminate regulatory discrepancies among several state agencies that create  unnecessary barriers to doing business. The GIPC for instance, has digitized its registration procedure, making it considerably quicker and more flexible for investors to register and  apply for exemptions under the GIPC Act (Act 865). 

“It is essential to note that Foreign Direct Investment in an economy like ours is crucial for  creating jobs, gaining access to new technologies, increasing output, expanding trade, and  forming valuable relationships between local enterprises and multinational corporations. As such the GIPC will not relent in promoting Ghana as a choice destination for investment and assiduously engaging with global partners”, said Yofi Grant CEO of the GIPC. 

“Ghana has a great global reputation, and as the host of the African Continental Free Trade  Area, it provides considerable opportunities for businesses to trade in the enormous  African market. Furthermore, with our democratic stability and smart business policies in  place, such as the 10-Point Industrialization Agenda, Ghana most appeals to investors  seeking stability and vibrancy in order to prosper and grow their firms. So, despite the  current economic difficulties, investors continue to see Ghana as a desirable destination to  invest”, added.

Meanwhile, for the rest of 2022, the World Investment Report predicts that FDI flows to developing  economies are expected to be strongly affected by the war in Ukraine and its wider  ramifications.
