GIPC, Mauritius Economic Development Board to host top investors in Accra
The Economic Development Board (EDB) of Mauritius is set to bring a high-powered delegation of financiers and investment executives to Accra later this month as part of efforts to deepen economic ties and unlock new cross-border investment opportunities between Ghana and Mauritius.
The closed-door business forum, scheduled for May 22, 2026, at the Accra Marriott Hotel, is being organised in partnership with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) under the theme: “Mauritius: Your Strategic Platform for Ghanaian Capital, Growth and Global Expansion.”
The event is expected to bring together senior Ghanaian business leaders, policymakers, investors and executives from major Mauritian financial institutions for strategic discussions on financing, capital mobilisation and international expansion opportunities.
Organisers say the Accra engagement forms part of a broader West African investment corridor initiative that also includes Lagos and Abidjan, reflecting Mauritius’ growing interest in strengthening commercial partnerships with key economies in the sub-region.
Ghana positioned as strategic investment hub
The Economic Development Board of Mauritius said Ghana’s inclusion as the final destination of the regional investment tour reflects the country’s rising importance as a stable and expanding investment destination within West Africa.
The forum comes at a time when Ghana’s economy is gradually regaining investor confidence following recent macroeconomic reforms and fiscal adjustments.
According to the organisers, the Mauritian delegation intends to position itself as a long-term strategic partner in Ghana’s economic recovery and growth agenda.
The delegation will comprise representatives from about 20 Mauritian financial institutions, including commercial banks, fund managers, corporate advisory firms and wealth management companies.
The institutions are expected to showcase financing solutions spanning debt capital, equity financing, venture capital, mezzanine funding, bridge financing and blended investment structures.
Focus on finance, investment and capital access
While discussions at the forum will cover sectors such as agriculture, renewable energy, manufacturing, engineering and oil and gas, organisers say there will be a strong focus on Ghana’s financial services sector.
Banks, insurance firms, fintech companies, investment funds, law firms and accountancy practices are among the key stakeholders being targeted for direct business engagements.
The forum is also expected to explore opportunities for Ghanaian businesses to use Mauritius as a platform for fund domiciliation, asset management, insurance services and international capital markets access.
Unlike conventional networking events, organisers say the forum is designed to produce tangible business outcomes, including Memoranda of Understanding, term sheets and Letters of Intent aimed at facilitating future investment deals between institutions in both countries.
Senior government officials to attend
Mauritius’ Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr Mrs Jyoti Jeetun, is expected to attend the forum, signalling the Mauritian government’s strategic interest in expanding economic cooperation with Ghana.
The Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, Mr Simon Madjie, will also participate in the forum, underscoring the Ghanaian government’s support for stronger bilateral investment partnerships.
The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, which operates under the Office of the President, is mandated to promote and facilitate investments across all sectors of the economy.
The Economic Development Board of Mauritius serves as the country’s apex investment promotion institution and operates under the Mauritian Ministry of Finance.
Attendance at the forum will be strictly by confirmation and targeted mainly at chief executives, senior partners, directors and institutional decision-makers.
