Ghana has been ranked the 4th freest country in Africa and 46th globally out of 164 countries in the latest Freedom and Prosperity Index published by the Atlantic Council’s Freedom and Prosperity Center.
The country scored 73.2 points on the Freedom Index, which measures key indicators such as political freedom, economic freedom, and the rule of law.
Why does this matter?
Strong institutions, democratic stability, and respect for individual freedoms help create a more predictable environment for citizens, businesses, and investors alike. While no ranking guarantees investment success, countries that perform well in governance, rule of law, and economic freedom are often better positioned for long-term growth and investor confidence.
This recognition reinforces Ghana’s reputation as one of Africa’s most stable and attractive destinations for living, building, and investing.
