In the first half of 2025, trade in goods between Ghana and the United States reached US$1.42 billion, up from about US$1.16 billion in the same period in 2024.
During this period, Ghana’s exports to the U.S. totalled approximately US$863.1 million, while imports from the U.S. amounted to US$552.1 million — resulting in a trade surplus of US$310.9 million in Ghana’s favour.
Across the months from January through June 2025, Ghana maintained this monthly surplus despite some fluctuations. For example:
-
In April 2025, Ghana’s exports to the U.S. peaked at about US$180.1 million.
-
U.S. exports to Ghana were highest in June, at around US$110.2 million.
-
In March, the trade imbalance peaked: Ghana exported approximately US$86.2 million while U.S. exports to Ghana stood at US$174.8 million — creating a deficit of about US$88.5 million.
Despite these monthly swings, Ghana’s consistent surplus during the first half of the year signals the strength of its export base — notably commodities such as gold, crude oil, cocoa and other agricultural products.
Overall, the latest figures highlight the sustained economic partnership between Ghana and the United States.
