President Mahama to open housing finance conference in Accra on October 7

Held under the theme, “Adequate Housing for All: Innovative Financing for Ghana’s Housing Future”, the event will bring together representatives from government, financial institutions, the private sector, development institutions, civil society, academia and local government.

In a press statement issued on Wednesday, September 30, the conference comes at a critical time for Ghana’s housing sector, with rising construction costs, limited access to long-term finance, high mortgage rates and affordability constraints preventing many households from securing adequate housing.

President John Dramani Mahama is expected to open a National Conference on Housing Finance in Accra on October 7, 2026, as stakeholders seek solutions to the financing challenges limiting access to affordable housing.
