Business executives surveyed by the 2025 United Kingdom Ghana Chamber of Commerce (UKGCC) Business Environment Competitiveness Survey (BECS) have expressed growing confidence in the country’s political system, citing improvements in both its effectiveness and stability.
This positive sentiment is attributed to peaceful democratic processes, enhanced transparency, and
the strengthening of key institutions.
The report stated that the survey respondents’ perceptions about the stability and effectiveness of the political system as a business environment seemed unstable in the last four-year period (2021 – 2024).
However, indeed, for this year, perceptions about the political system’s stability and effectiveness has declined sharply, marking significant improvement, and this could have been a result of a successful and peaceful election.
This year’s survey offered a timely reflection on how businesses perceived the evolving Ghanaian economy.
Conducted between 15th June and 13th August 2025, the survey responses suggest that many respondents’ perceptions might have been influenced by developments within the first half of the fiscal year.
