Ghana moves beyond peace and stability in battle for investors – GIPA CEO
Ghana is pitching reforms, credible leadership and investment returns as it seeks to stand out in an increasingly competitive regional market, Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) CEO Simon Madjie has said.
Ghana is moving beyond its reputation for peace and stability to attract more investors, according to Simon Madjie, CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA). Speaking on Joy News' PM Express Business Edition, Madjie emphasized that Ghana is now offering reforms as part of its investment proposition. He explained that the country is moving beyond its traditional advantages to create an environment where businesses can thrive and prosper.
Madjie addressed the challenge from neighboring economies by highlighting Ghana's recent changes in tax and customs laws, as well as leadership credibility at all levels of government. He stressed that reforms are crucial for sustained growth and that Ghana's leadership, from the president to local municipal authorities, is working together to create favorable conditions for long-term investment.
To further bolster its appeal, Ghana is implementing sector-specific policies, such as a new textiles policy, an agribusiness policy, and a policy on component manufacturing. The CEO believes these measures will position Ghana as an attractive destination for business growth and prosperity, where people will associate the country with thriving, prosperous businesses.
