The recent release of the Global Mining Investment Attractiveness Index reveals a troubling decline in Ghana’s position, with our country falling seven places in the global ranking of mining investment destinations, from 46th in 2024 to 53rd in 2025. More concerning is the fact that only sixty-eight (68) countries were assessed in 2025, compared with eighty-two (82) in 2024 when Ghana held the 46th position.
