Ghana, EU Chart a Course for Enhanced Economic Stability & Business Growth

Ghana and the European Union have reaffirmed their commitment to macroeconomic resilience, investment promotion, and reforms to improve the business environment following the Ghana–EU Thematic Dialogue on Economic Stabilisation and the Business Environment.

The dialogue was convened by the EU, the German Embassy, and the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).

It brought together representatives of Government, the EU, and key stakeholders to discuss macroeconomic resilience, investment promotion, implementation of Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Strategy, and measures to improve the ease of doing business.

German Ambassador to Ghana, Frederik Landshoeft, described Ghana as a strategic gateway to the West African market, underscoring its growing role in regional trade and logistics.

“Ghana is a strategic gateway to the West African market,” Ambassador Landshoeft said, pointing to its position in regional integration and trade flows.

As Ghana’s largest investor, EU investments in the country have exceeded US$16.24 billion across more than 2,200 projects.

According to GIPC Chief Executive Officer, Mr Simon Madjie, the figure reflects sustained investor confidence in Ghana’s economic outlook despite global headwinds.

Both sides also reaffirmed their commitment to aligning EU and Member State support with Ghana’s economic priorities.

“Together with our Ghanaian partners, Germany and the EU remain committed to supporting reforms that foster long-term sustainable economic growth, investment, and job creation,” the joint statement noted.

Discussions on the 24-Hour Economy Strategy focused on how policy reforms, infrastructure, and investor incentives can unlock round-the-clock economic activity and create more jobs for Ghanaians.
