The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry has hosted an investment delegation from Grow, Unite, Build Africa (GUBA) Enterprise to explore investment opportunities in key sectors of Ghana’s economy.
The delegation was received by the Chief Director of the Ministry, Mr Noah Tumfo, on behalf of the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare.
Discussions focused on investment opportunities in agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, automotive, textiles and garments, critical minerals, as well as the digital and fintech sectors.
The Director in charge of Industries at the Ministry, Mr Kofi Addo, briefed the delegation on Ghana’s economic growth trajectory, regulatory frameworks, investment incentives and government support systems available to diaspora investors.
He said Ghana remained one of Africa’s attractive investment destinations due to its democratic governance, political stability and strategic location within the West African sub-region.
Mr Addo highlighted Ghana’s role as host of the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area, noting that it offers investors access to a broader continental market.
He further referenced Ghana’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act and recent economic indicators, including declining inflation, as signs of improving macroeconomic conditions and rising investor confidence.
According to him, public-private partnerships could also help increase capital inflows, create jobs and support growth across various sectors.
The leader of the GUBA delegation, Lady Dentaa Amoateng, expressed appreciation for the reception and engagement with the Ministry.
She said the discussions had provided the delegation with deeper insight into Ghana’s investment landscape and reaffirmed their interest in pursuing partnerships that would support the country’s economic development.
