How this is computed
Of 25 Ghanaian brands recorded, 25 have a current controlling owner (outright or a stake of 50% or more, followed up to the ultimate parent). The other 0 are licensed, part-owned or lack a current owner and are left out. A brand is foreign-owned when that ultimate parent is headquartered in a different country from the brand's origin. Data as of . Method and ranking for all countries.
Coverage caveat. The brands tracked skew towards those held by large filing companies, so this overstates foreign ownership relative to every brand in the country; with this few brands, one acquisition moves the share noticeably. See also the Ghana country page.
