GIPC Eyes 24-Hour Economy to Drive Investment as Ghana’s Non-Traditional Exports Hit $5 Billion
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie, says the Centre will leverage Ghana’s 24-hour economy policy to attract investment and accelerate export-led growth.
Mr Madjie gave the assurance at the launch of the 2025 Non-Traditional Exports (NTEs) Statistics Report and Exhibition in Accra, organized by the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA).
The event was held under the theme “Driving Economic Transformation Through Strategic Export Diversification.”
He said sustained investment remains critical to export growth, noting that Ghana’s estimated 2.6 million businesses offer significant potential to expand the country’s participation in global markets.
GEPA announced at the event that non-traditional exports reached US$5.006 billion in 2025, a 30.7% increase over 2024. The figure represents output from more than 1,200 companies exporting over 500 products to more than 150 markets.
The launch drew stakeholders from government, financial institutions, and the private sector to discuss strategies for strengthening Ghana’s export diversification agenda.
As part of the programme, Mr Madjie toured exhibition stands showcasing Made-in-Ghana and export-ready products, including cashew, shea butter, cocoa derivatives, fresh produce, and textiles.
He urged exporters to prioritize value addition, improve product standards, and explore new markets to boost Ghana’s global competitiveness.
