Renowned Haitian-American retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, and an investment tycoon, Dr. Rudy Moise, has lauded Ghana as a beacon of stability and a prime investment destination in Africa following a recent tour of the country aimed at exploring business opportunities.
Dr. Moise, a man of many accomplishments, a military veteran, attorney, physician, actor, and philanthropist, visited Ghana this week on a fact-finding and investment exploration mission.
During his stay, he toured several business hubs, industrial enclaves, and investment corridors across the country, where he held engagements with business leaders, policy-makers, and entrepreneurs.
Speaking during his visit, Dr. Moise described Ghana as a “safe haven for investment,” citing the country’s democratic stability, friendly business climate, and government-led policy reforms aimed at boosting investor confidence.
During his visit, he paid courtesy calls on Dr. Sam Jonah, the Chief Executive Officer, Sammy Gyamfi and the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah.
These meetings were to afford him the opportunity to engage government on the various investment opportunities, policies and programs available for foreign investment growth.
“I am thoroughly impressed with the level of economic potential Ghana offers,” he said. “From the financial sector to agriculture, energy, tourism, and real estate, there are vast opportunities for local and international investors. Ghana is clearly positioning itself as a leading investment hub not only in West Africa but across the continent.”
Dr. Moise particularly praised the Ghanaian government for implementing strategic reforms to stabilize the local currency, the Cedi, in relation to the U.S. Dollar.
He noted that these efforts, coupled with broader macroeconomic policies, signal a serious commitment to economic growth and sustainability.
“The government’s efforts to stabilize the Cedi against the Dollar is commendable. It’s a critical step toward creating a predictable and investor-friendly economic environment. These are the kinds of indicators investors look for—stability, security, and transparency,” he said.
He also applauded Ghana’s strides in improving the ease of doing business, citing regulatory streamlining, infrastructure development, and tax incentives as key enablers of private sector growth.
“As someone who has traveled extensively across the world and observed different economic systems, I can confidently say Ghana is on the right path. The policy direction is clear, the leadership is visionary, and the people are welcoming,” he added.
Dr. Moise, who is known for his philanthropic work and strong advocacy for development in the African diaspora, said his visit marks the beginning of a long-term relationship with Ghana.
He hinted at potential collaboration in health care delivery, education, and youth entrepreneurship—areas he believes are crucial to Ghana’s long-term development.
He further encouraged African diasporans and global investors to consider Ghana as a serious business destination.
“I urge my fellow brothers and sisters in the diaspora to look towards Ghana. This is the time to invest, to build, and to contribute to a growing economy that is laying a solid foundation for future generations.”
Dr. Moise’s visit adds to the growing list of high-profile international figures who have expressed interest in investing in Ghana’s economy, affirming the country’s growing reputation as the gateway to West Africa.
