GIPC CEO urges investors to capitalise on Ghana’s pro-business environment
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie, has urged investors to take advantage of Ghana’s favourable business climate and strategic policy initiatives that position the country as a prime investment destination in West Africa.
Speaking at an engagement with a visiting delegation from Casablanca Finance City (CFC) as part of its 2025 West Africa Tour, Mr. Madjie highlighted key government initiatives—such as the 24-Hour Economy and Export Development Programme, and the Big Push Agenda—as major catalysts for economic growth, productivity, and investment.
He explained that the 24-Hour Economy and Export Development Programme aims to improve competitiveness by encouraging firms, particularly in priority sectors, to operate through multiple shifts.
This, he said, is expected to boost productivity, create employment, and enhance Ghana’s appeal as a regional business hub.
The Big Push Agenda, he added, is focused on large-scale infrastructure development, including roads, ports, and industrial zones, to support long-term economic transformation and attract strategic global partnerships.
Mr. Madjie also reaffirmed the growing economic cooperation between Ghana and Morocco, assuring the visiting delegation of GIPC’s full support in exploring opportunities across sectors.
The CFC delegation, led by Mr. Aziz El Khyari, Director of Business Development and African Cooperation, praised Ghana’s advancing infrastructure, investment-friendly reputation, and vibrant tourism sector.
GIPC’s Head of Investment Promotion and Business Development, Mr. Kwame Kesse, further highlighted high-potential sectors such as fintech, tourism, construction, and water services—areas he said present strong prospects for both local and foreign investors.
The GIPC engagement forms part of efforts to deepen investment ties and position Ghana as a strategic gateway to the West African market
