Ghana ICT

In spite of a broader slowdown in the economy, Ghana’s ICT sector has seen high double-digit growth over the past 12 months, supported by new infrastructure and value-added mobile services.

Competition is heating up in Ghana’s telecoms market, with growing demand for data prompting operators to roll out large-scale investment programmes in order to expand network capacity. 

A government drive to make technology more accessible across Ghana by expanding the ICT infrastructure has opened the door for international investors to increase their presence.

The arrival of a sixth operator in the already competitive Ghanaian mobile telecoms market spells good news for customers keen to take advantage of aggressive pricing policies and product innovation.

Already in the midst of significant growth, Ghana’s IT and telecommunications sectors are set to see increased efficiency and improved access following the finalisation of a new medium-term strategic plan by the industry’s regulator and the arrival of a new regional player in the mobile segment.
