The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has reassured foreign investors that Ghana remains a secure, transparent and non-discriminatory destination for investment.
Speaking in Accra during an engagement with a business delegation led by Japan’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ms Kunimitsu Ayano, Mr Madjie said Ghana’s legal and regulatory framework offers strong protection for investors against expropriation and unfair treatment. He added that the system allows for the free repatriation of capital, dividends and profits, reinforcing investor confidence in the country.
According to him, foreign investors enjoy equal treatment with local businesses, with the only distinction being local content requirements designed to promote domestic participation, skills transfer and value addition within the economy.
Mr Madjie also highlighted Ghana’s long-standing democratic stability, predictable policy environment and strong independent institutions as key pillars that continue to attract and retain foreign investment.
He further underscored Ghana’s strategic advantage as host of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, noting that this positions investors to access a vast continental market of about 1.4 billion people. In addition, Ghana provides a gateway to the ECOWAS sub-regional market of more than 400 million consumers.
The GIPC CEO reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to working closely with international partners to ensure a conducive and investor-friendly business climate that supports sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
