Ghana Business News was founded in 2008 as a source of well-researched and reliable business news. Its primary focus is on business, finance, economics, and development issues in Ghana, though it also covers politics, the environment, technology, and international affairs.
Over time, the platform has developed a reputation for investigative reporting, independence, and attention to accuracy.
The mission of Ghana Business News is to make complex economic and development issues more accessible to the public, helping citizens understand the financial and developmental processes that affect their lives.
Beyond reporting, the platform seeks to contribute to accountability in Ghana by highlighting corruption, mismanagement of public resources, and misuse of natural resources.
Ghana Business News has worked with international investigative journalism networks, including the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), Centre for Collaborative Investigative Journalism (CCIJ), and the Norbert Zongo Centre for Investigative Journalism (CENOZO). It has participated in cross-border investigative projects on illicit financial flows, such as the “West Africa Leaks,” “FinCEN Files,” “Shadow Diplomats,” and “Pandora Papers.” The platform has also collaborated on projects funded by the Journalism Fund Europe and with publications such as London-based Finance Uncovered and Swiss “Beobachter.” These collaborations demonstrate its role in global investigative journalism and its engagement with transparency issues beyond Ghana’s borders.
