Government has reiterated its commitment to strict fiscal discipline while channeling investments into key sectors to consolidate Ghana’s recent economic recovery.
Chief of Staff at the Office of the President, Julius Debrah, speaking at the 2025 CEO Connect Summit organized by the Canada Ghana Chamber of Commerce, stressed that trade facilitation remains a top policy priority aimed at opening new business opportunities and enhancing Ghana’s competitiveness in both regional and global markets.
“Our government continues to prioritize trade facilitation and infrastructure to ease the movement of goods and services across borders, macroeconomic stability, and reforms to ensure that Ghana remains a safe and attractive investment destination,” Mr. Debrah said.
He added that prudent economic management and targeted investments are vital to sustaining growth momentum and laying a stronger foundation for private sector expansion.
On his part, Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Mohammed Adam Sukparu (MP), emphasized that Africa’s ability to fully leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), headquartered in Accra, depends heavily on digital technology, innovation, and partnerships.
“Digital tools and platforms are no longer optional but the very foundation of competitiveness, resilience, and global relevance. Under the leadership of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, Ghana is actively implementing bold policies to build a digitally enabled economy from e-governance platforms to financial inclusion and broadband expansion into rural areas ensuring no one is left behind,” he noted.
Meanwhile, members of the Canada Ghana Chamber of Commerce have welcomed government’s plan to remove the minimum capital requirement for foreign investors in the upcoming review of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) Act.
Executive Secretary of the Chamber, Edwina Atta-Sonno, described the proposal as a step in the right direction, arguing that lowering entry barriers will make Ghana a more attractive investment destination.
“It is a brilliant idea in the sense that we have to make Ghana attractive for investors to come in. If our investment requirements are very high, we may not get them coming in,” she explained.
