Trade Ministry Hosts GUBA Investment Delegation to Explore High-Impact Sectors
The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry has hosted a high-impact investment delegation from Grow, Unite, Build Africa (GUBA) Enterprise as part of efforts to attract strategic investments into key sectors of Ghana’s economy.
The delegation was received by the Chief Director of the Ministry, Mr. Noah Tumfo, on behalf of the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare.
The meeting focused on sector-specific investment opportunities aligned with Ghana’s economic priorities.
Discussions centered on priority sectors including agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, automotive, textiles and garments, critical minerals, as well as the digital and fintech industries.
The Director in charge of Industries, Mr. Kofi Addo, took the delegation through the various growth stages of Ghana’s economy and highlighted the country’s regulatory frameworks, investment incentives and government support mechanisms available for diaspora-linked investments.
Additionally, Mr. Addo assured the delegation that Ghana remains one of the most attractive investment destinations in Africa due to its strong democratic credentials, political stability and strategic geographical location, which positions the country as a gateway to the West African market.
He further highlighted Ghana’s role as host of the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), providing investors with access to a wider continental market.
He also referenced Ghana’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and recent positive economic indicators, including the significant drop in inflation, as signs of improving macroeconomic stability and growing investor confidence in the country.
Mr. Addo also outlined potential public-private partnerships capable of accelerating capital inflows, job creation and sectoral growth.
The GUBA delegation was led by Lady Dentaa Amoateng, who expressed appreciation on behalf of the team for the warm reception accorded them and the opportunities presented during the engagement.
She noted that the discussions had provided valuable insights into Ghana’s investment landscape and reaffirmed the delegation’s commitment to exploring partnerships that would contribute to the country’s economic development.
