In line with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act and following consultations with the Council of State, President John Dramani Mahama has appointed a new 10-member Governing Board for the GIPC.

 

Strategic guidance

 

The newly constituted Board is expected to provide strategic guidance to the Centre as it works to drive economic growth and attract foreign investment into Ghana. The Board is chaired by former Minister of State, Mr. Akwasi Oppong-Fosu, and comprises key figures from the finance, industry, and academic sectors.

Inauguration

 

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony in Accra, Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, highlighted the Centre’s critical role in job creation and economic development through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). She noted that the review of the GIPC Act reflects government’s renewed focus on building an investor-friendly environment.

 

“This will ensure that Ghana remains a top destination for high-quality investments,” the Minister said.

 

Board Chair Mr. Akwasi Oppong-Fosu assured the Minister of the Board’s full support in achieving the President’s vision of a transformed, investment-driven economy.

 

Major milestone
