Hollywood Star AJ Akua Johnson to Headline the 9th Annual Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo in London

 London, UK - October 2025: Hollywood is heading to Chelsea. US actress, life coach, and TV personality AJ Akua Johnson - best known for her roles in Baby Boy, House Party, and The Jamie Foxx Show - is bringing her star power and signature positivity to the UK as she officially opens the 9th Annual Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo (GLPE) at the Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel on 15-16 November 2025.

Appointed Brand Ambassador for the 2025 GLPE Global Series by the expo’s founders Anna and Victoria Agyekum, Johnson’s new role celebrates her deep affection for Ghana and her commitment to empowering the global diaspora to invest with confidence in the country’s vibrant property and lifestyle sectors. Her enthusiasm for Ghana’s people, culture, and progress has made her a natural fit for this mission.

Ghana feels like home,” says Johnson. “The GLPE isn’t just about property - it’s about purpose. It’s about reconnecting with our roots, investing wisely, and building something lasting for generations to come.”

Now in its ninth year, the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo has grown into a trusted international platform promoting real estate, trade, investment, and lifestyle opportunities in Ghana. Each year, it attracts thousands of diaspora professionals, investors, and industry leaders eager to engage with credible developers and financial institutions driving Ghana’s growth story.
This year’s GLPE proudly features key lead sponsors Royal Kingdom Estate, Goldkey Properties, and Clifton Homes, whose expertise and portfolio of verified developments highlight the highest standards of property investment in Ghana.

The 2025 theme, “Resolving Obstacles in the Ghanaian Property Market,” highlights the Expo’s commitment to practical solutions and transparency. From land ownership and financing to regulatory challenges and market education, the Expo fosters open dialogue between developers, policymakers, and the diaspora. Trust remains the biggest factor in turning interest into investment, and GLPE continues to bridge that gap - creating a safe, empowering environment where buyers can meet verified companies and advisors they can truly rely on.

Trust is what converts curiosity into commitment,” explains co-founder Anna Agyekum. “The GLPE brings all the right people to the same table - serious buyers, credible developers, and financial partners who want to do business the right way. It’s about clarity, education, and empowerment.”

Co-founder Victoria Agyekum adds: “Our mission has always been to simplify the process and make property ownership in Ghana accessible to everyone in the diaspora. We want people to see the opportunity, not the obstacles - and to feel confident that there are transparent, trusted pathways to invest and build a future back home.”

Ghana’s property market continues to command international attention. According to Statista (2025), Accra ranks as the third fastest-growing real estate market in Africa, reflecting the country’s economic resilience and expanding urban demand. The World Bank projects GDP growth of 4.8% in 2025, driven by construction and services, while Knight Frank reports average rental yields of 8–10% for prime developments in Accra.

The data tells a clear story of momentum. Over 60% of Ghanaians abroad intend to own property in Ghana within the next five years (IOM, 2023), while remittance inflows exceeding US$4 billion annually (World Bank & Bank of Ghana) are increasingly being directed into real estate, land, and lifestyle projects. Combined with rapid urbanisation and a growing middle class, these trends are positioning Ghana as one of Africa’s most stable and promising investment destinations.

Following a successful launch in Washington D.C. earlier this year, the GLPE Global Series continues its journey to London in November before concluding in Accra in December. At each stop, Johnson will participate in keynote panels, interviews, and networking sessions - championing credible investment and amplifying Ghana’s story on a global stage.

The series finale will take place in Accra at the Alisa Hotel Pavilion on 16-17 December 2025, preceded by an opening night reception on Friday 12 December.

Mawutor Alifo, Head of Chancery, Ghana High Commission UK said: “For nine years, the Ghana High Commission UK has been a proud supporter of the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo a vital platform for promoting investment in Ghana and strengthening the enduring bond between the nation and its diaspora.”

Founded by UK-based Ghanaian sisters Anna and Victoria Agyekum, who also run respected real-estate agency On Point Property, the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo continues to empower the diaspora and international investors to invest safely and confidently in Ghana’s thriving property and lifestyle sectors. The Expo showcases verified developers, banks, and service providers while celebrating the creativity, stability, and growth potential of modern Ghana.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
