GIPA CEO Simon Madjie provided an overview of the Authority's mandate, legal reforms, and operational performance, emphasizing the repositioning of GIPA as both a promotional and regulatory institution under the 2023 Act 1173. The reforms, which include the removal of blanket minimum capital requirements and the introduction of targeted local content regulations, aim to streamline the investment process and position Ghana as a preferred destination for investors.",
