Trade between Ghana and Canada grew by 56 per cent to $752 million in 2025, underscoring the strengthening economic partnership between the two countries, Canada’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Myriam Montrat, has disclosed.
Speaking at the Canada Day Reception in Accra on Thursday, July 2, 2026, Ms. Montrat said the two countries have deepened their partnership across trade, investment, education, peace and security.
According to her, the significant increase in bilateral trade reflects the growing commercial ties between the two countries, as Canadian businesses continue to invest in Ghana’s development.
“In 2025, the trade between our two countries reached $752 million, a remarkable 56% increase,” she said.
Ms. Montrat noted that Canadian companies are contributing expertise, technology and innovation to support Ghana’s development, particularly in the areas of health, climate action, agribusiness and inclusive economic growth.
She said the two countries are also strengthening collaboration through education, with Ghanaian students and Canadian institutions building partnerships that benefit both nations.
The High Commissioner added that Canada and Ghana continue to work together on shared priorities, including gender equality, climate action, peace and security and multilateral cooperation.
She further announced that Canada will host an Investment Summit later this year and encouraged Ghanaian investors to take advantage of business opportunities available in Canada.
Highlighting Canada’s approach to international partnerships, Ms. Montrat said the country remains committed to working with trusted partners despite global uncertainties.
“At a time of global uncertainty, Canada continues to move forward with confidence, guided by our values and our belief that strong partnerships are built on trust, respect and shared ambitions,” she said.
She stressed that Canada’s engagement with Africa is anchored on building partnerships that deliver tangible results, noting that the continent plays a central role in shaping the global future.
“The future does not belong to those who build walls. It belongs to those who build bridges—bridges between countries, communities and people,” she said.
Ms. Montrat also acknowledged the contribution of the Ghanaian diaspora in Canada, describing it as a vital link that continues to strengthen the longstanding friendship between the two countries through economic, cultural and social exchanges.
