~~Financial Times Africa Summit 2026 and~~ Ghana Economic Policy and the Accra Reset Program

The 13th Financial Times Africa Summit in London convened political leaders, policymakers, and business executives to address economic development and capital mobilization. Participants, including Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote, focused on mobilizing domestic capital and attracting investment to strengthen African financial systems. During the summit, Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama announced a strategic shift in Ghana’s economic policy through the ‘Accra Reset’ program. The initiative aims to phase out the export of unprocessed mineral resources by 2030 to drive domestic industrialization and job creation. The policy targets resources such as bauxite, manganese, iron ore, lithium, diamonds, and gold. To implement this roadmap, the Ghanaian government plans to introduce legislation requiring investors to integrate local processing and refining capabilities into mining projects. Specific objectives include developing domestic aluminium refining and modernizing the VALCO facility. Mahama emphasized that while the transition requires significant investment in energy, transport, and technology, it is essential for “national economic sovereignty.” He also called for increased coordination among African nations to ensure the continent exports high-value processed goods rather than raw materials.
