Ghana-Canada trade has reached a new milestone in 2025, climbing by 56 percent to $752 million as commercial relations between the two countries gathered pace amid expanding cooperation in investment, education and sustainable development.
The figures were announced by Canada's High Commissioner to Ghana, Myriam Montrat, during the Canada Day Reception in Accra on Thursday, where she pointed to a partnership that is stretching well beyond trade.
"In 2025, the trade between our two countries reached $752 million, a remarkable 56% increase," she told guests, describing the latest figures as evidence of growing confidence among businesses on both sides.
Canadian firms continue to deepen their presence in Ghana, bringing expertise and technology into sectors that have become increasingly important to the country's development agenda.
Ms. Montrat said investments are supporting healthcare, climate action, agribusiness and inclusive economic growth, areas where both governments see room for stronger collaboration.
The relationship, she noted, is no longer defined by commerce alone. Universities, researchers and students from both countries are forging partnerships that continue to widen educational and cultural exchanges.
Shared Priorities Beyond Trade
Canada and Ghana are also working together on issues that extend into global policy, including gender equality, climate action, peace and security, and multilateral cooperation.
Against a backdrop of shifting geopolitical and economic conditions, the High Commissioner stressed that Canada's foreign engagement remains rooted in dependable partnerships.
"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 also announced that Canada will host an Investment Summit later this year, inviting Ghanaian businesses and investors to explore opportunities in the Canadian market.
Ms. Montrat said Africa occupies an increasingly important place in Canada's international outlook, arguing that the continent will play a defining role in shaping the future global economy.
"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.
She also paid tribute to the Ghanaian diaspora in Canada, describing the community as a vital bridge that continues to strengthen the longstanding friendship between the two countries through business, culture and people-to-people connections.
