Informal cross-border trade between Ghana and its three land neighbours, Togo, Burkina Faso, and Côte d’Ivoire, was valued at GH¢7.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. This represents 4.3 percent of Ghana’s total trade for the period. The figure is from the first national Informal Cross Border Trade (ICBT) survey conducted by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) to measure informal cross-border trade that occurs outside formal customs systems.
