The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), Mr Simon Madjie, has called for a more strategic approach to mobilising domestic and regional capital to finance Africa’s oil and gas sector and broader industrial development.

Speaking at the AOW Energy 2026 Conference in Accra, Mr Madjie highlighted the potential of pension funds and diaspora remittances as important sources of long-term capital for investment across Africa’s energy value chain.

He noted that although Africans in the diaspora remit billions of dollars to the continent annually, much of these funds are not channelled into structured investments that can support industrial growth and economic development.

Mr Madjie also called for greater regional specialisation in the oil and gas value chain, urging African countries to identify areas where they can build competitive expertise and strengthen collaboration across the continent.

He further highlighted key reforms under the GIPA Act, 2026 (Act 1173), including the removal of the blanket minimum capital requirement for foreign investors, which he noted would contribute to a more competitive and investor-friendly environment in Ghana.
