MIIF Targets Investors From Sub Region

Ghana’s Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) has signalled a strategic expansion of its mandate beyond royalty collection within the country, aiming to pursue regional co-investment initiatives and position itself more prominently within the sovereign wealth landscape in the sub-region.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Fund, Mrs Justina Nelson, said MIIF was recalibrating its strategy to maximise mineral income and deploy it more competitively across diversified assets.

“Our setup is to maximise the value of income due to the Republic of Ghana. But beyond mobilising royalties, we are focused on monetising these flows prudently and investing them to create long-term value for Ghana,” she said in her presentation at the Ghana Day, during the 2026 African Mining Indaba in Cape Town, South Africa on February 11, 2026.

The Ghana Day served as a high-impact investment platform, positioning Ghana as a stable and forward-looking mining destination while showcasing the country’s commitment to responsible resource development, regulatory transparency and long-term value creation.

Against the backdrop of rising global demand for minerals, the event attended by a large number of people from across the continent, provided MIIF and others an opportunity to engage international investors, industry leaders and strategic partners through focused discussions on policy reforms, investment incentives and opportunities across the mining value chain, from exploration to value addition and downstream industrialisation.

Mrs Nelson noted that Ghana recorded significant mineral royalty inflows in 2025, creating an opportunity for MIIF to diversify its portfolio across equities, fixed income and alternative investments in line with its mandate to generate sustainable, long-term returns for the Republic.

“At the core of our priorities is sustainability. It is not just about collecting royalties. It is about how we invest them responsibly, competitively and transparently to benefit current and future generations,” she added.

She further outlined plans for 2026 to pursue co-investment partnerships with other sovereign wealth and mining-focused growth funds across the sub-region.

“There is no shortage of opportunity in the mining space. What is required is collaboration, strong governance and trust. We are positioning MIIF as a world-class sovereign investor ready to partner across the region,” Mrs Nelson stated.

Investment destination

Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa, His Excellency Benjamin Kofi Quashie, described Ghana as a stable and predictable investment destination, urging investors to take advantage of the country’s reform-driven economic environment.

“Ghana stands as a beacon of stability and opportunity in West Africa. We are committed to creating conducive atmosphere for investors to make informed and confident decisions,” he said.

Commitment

For his part, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah reaffirmed government’s commitment to strengthening the mining sector’s regulatory and institutional framework.

“We seek not just capital but ethical and innovative partners committed to long-term value creation. Ghana is open for business and we are determined to ensure a win-win partnership for investors, communities and the nation,” he noted.
