Ghana's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is developing new financial tools to enable the Ghanaian diaspora to invest their remittances into the country's development projects, aiming to redirect some of the estimated $8 billion sent annually from consumption to long-term investment. This initiative seeks to provide safe and trusted channels for Ghanaians abroad who are interested in investing in sectors like infrastructure, housing, and businesses but currently lack clear avenues. The SEC is collaborating with local broker-dealers to create investment products, such as government bonds and infrastructure funds, that will offer diaspora investors potential returns while contributing to Ghana's economic growth. Deputy Director-General Mensah Thompson highlighted the need for such mechanisms based on conversations with ambassadors and diaspora members in the UK and US.
