Government has assured of maintaining strict fiscal discipline while channeling investments into critical growth sectors to sustain Ghana’s recent economic rebound.
Chief of Staff at the Office of the President, Julius Debrah, says trade facilitation remains a top policy priority, as government seeks to unlock new opportunities for businesses and strengthen competitiveness in regional and global markets.
Speaking at the 2025 CEO Connect Summit organized by the Canada Ghana Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Debrah emphasized that prudent economic management and targeted investments are central to protecting Ghana’s growth momentum and creating a stronger foundation for private sector expansion.
“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,” he said.
For his part, the Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Hon. Mohammed Adam Sukparu (MP), said that as Africa embraces the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), headquartered in Accra, its ability to integrate and prosper as one market is heavily dependent on digital technology, innovation, and strong partnerships.
He emphasized that digital tools and platforms are no longer optional but have become the very foundation of competitiveness, resilience, and global relevance.
“Under the leadership of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, Ghana is actively implementing bold policies and investments to establish a digitally enabled economy, ranging from e-governance platforms to digital financial inclusion and broadband expansion into rural communities, ensuring no one is left behind,” he said.
Meanwhile, some members of the Canada Ghana Chamber of Commerce have welcomed government’s plans to scrap the minimum capital requirement for foreign investors under the upcoming review of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) Act.
Executive Secretary of the Chamber, Edwina Atta-Sonno, told Channel One Business that the move could make Ghana a more attractive investment destination by lowering entry barriers.
“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 said.
