Ghana’s investment climate was under the spotlight yesterday at the Ghana-EU Business Forum. Yofi Grant, CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), joined a panel discussion aimed at gauging Ghana’s attractiveness as a destination for European investment.
The forum brought together key players from industry, policy, and thought leadership to explore investment opportunities in non-traditional sectors under the EU’s Global Gateway Strategy. Mr. Grant highlighted significant progress on reforms designed to empower small and medium- enterprises (SMEs) and solidify Ghana’s position as a magnet for foreign direct investment (FDI) and capital retention.
The discussion centered on Ghana’s evolving investment landscape, with Mr. Grant stressing the importance of striking the right balance to make the environment more appealing for both domestic and international businesses. Joining Mr. Grant on the panel were industry leaders including Seth Twum Akwaboah (CEO, Association of Ghana Industries), Robert Foster (MD, Baird’s Global Consumer Investment Banking Group), Carole Ramella (MD, GFA Consulting Group), and Herbert Friese (General Manager, Dutch & Company Ltd). Their combined expertise provided a comprehensive view of the opportunities and considerations for EU investment in Ghana.
