Bribe payments increased to 18% in late 2025 – GSS. Corruption in Ghana creates a cycle of loss. The market woman pays bribes for her child's admission, then charges higher prices to recoup her costs. The coins of corruption burn hotter than gold, and we all bear the cost.

🚨New report!!

GFI's new report 'Trade-Related Illicit Financial Flows, 2013-2022' highlights that the total value gaps in Sub-Saharan Africa are estimated at $152.9 billion in 2022.

#SouthAfrica had the highest cumulative (i.e. 10-year) dollar amount of value gaps with all trading partners during the period at $478.0 billion.

Africa still faces a profound challenge with IFFs on the order of hundreds of billions of dollars per year leaking from the continent.
