Ghana Committed to Strategic Investments- Trades Minister Courts UK Delegation

The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to attracting strategic global investments, assuring investors that the country offers strong opportunities supported by government policy and macroeconomic stability.

Speaking at a meeting in Accra on Thursday, July 2, 2026, with a United Kingdom delegation led by Shivani Patel, Director of SP Consulting Ltd, the Minister said Ghana is actively pursuing private sector partnerships to drive industrial expansion and job creation.

She stressed that the government is positioning the country as a competitive destination for investors seeking long-term growth in West Africa. Hon. Ofosu-Adjare outlined several priority government initiatives currently underway.

These include the revitalisation of the Pwalugu Tomato Factory, the development of the Greater Kumasi Industrial Park, and the Marine Drive Project.

She described the three as flagship programmes expected to boost manufacturing, tourism, infrastructure development, and employment across the country.

The Minister also highlighted national policies recently approved by Cabinet in agribusiness, automotive and component manufacturing, textiles and garments, and pharmaceuticals.

She said the frameworks are designed to provide clearer regulatory direction, reduce investment risk, and ensure sustainable returns for investors entering those sectors.

The UK delegation described Ghana as a priority investment destination, citing its relative macroeconomic stability, improving institutional framework, and strong growth outlook within the sub-region.

The Accra meeting follows discussions held at the Ghana–UK Summit in the United Kingdom in June 2026, as both countries seek to deepen economic cooperation.
