Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Nyarko Ampem has made a passionate appeal to Ghanaians abroad to keep transferring money and investing back home, assuring them of government's firm resolve to sustain the strength of the Ghanaian cedi and protect their investments. "Don't hold back, because we are going to work hard to make sure the cedi remains strong," Ampem told members of the Ghanaian community in Germany during an engagement on the sidelines of the 2025 Hamburg Sustainability Conference.
He dismissed concerns over currency depreciation, stating, "If you want to wait, hoping that the cedi will depreciate before you transfer money, you are going to be disappointed.
Keep bringing the funds because we need them.
We need the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)." Ampem further noted that the government is doing everything possible on the ground to shore up the local economy and make Ghana a viable destination for both emotional and financial return. "Locally, we are trying our best to strengthen the cedi and boost the economy," he said. "We are doing our best back home so that you will be proud and want to come back and contribute in whatever way you can." He emphasized that diasporan investments are key to Ghana's economic recovery and stability, adding, "Your contributions matter, and we are working to ensure that your investments are safe and beneficial to both you and the country."
