The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has disclosed new investment reforms introduced by the government to attract more foreign businesses to Ghana.
She made this announcement at the Ghana-China Investment Forum in Jinan, Shandong Province, on Thursday.
She noted that the reforms formed part of government efforts to improve the business environment and make Ghana more attractive to international investors seeking long-term partnerships in Africa.
She said the newly passed Ghana Investment Promotion Authority Act 2026 had removed minimum capital requirements for foreign investors and reduced investment approval timelines.
The Minister announced the opening of the China-Ghana Trade and Investment Promotion Centre in Jinan to provide direct support for Chinese businesses interested in establishing operations in Ghana.
According to her, the centre would serve as a link between Ghana and potential investors by offering information and guidance on available opportunities in the country’s industrial and manufacturing sectors.
She invited Chinese companies to explore opportunities in Ghana’s industrial sector.
Mrs Ofosu-Adjare urged investors from Shandong and other parts of China to visit Ghana and engage directly with local stakeholders to explore opportunities in areas including agro processing, automobile assembly, pharmaceuticals, textiles, recycling and digital technology.
“Ghana is ready. Ghana is safe. Ghana is profitable. We will support investors throughout every stage of the investment process,” she said.
She reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to strengthening its relationship with China through trade, industrialisation, and economic cooperation.
