The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has reiterated President John Dramani Mahama’s message to foreign investors, emphasizing that Ghana remains a prime destination for industrial investment.
Speaking at the KEDA (Ghana) Ceramics Company Limited event, which marked the sod-cutting of a new float glass manufacturing facility, the commissioning of a modern sanitary wares factory, and the inauguration of the fifth phase of the tile production line, Hon. Ofosu-Adjare stressed the government’s commitment to creating a favorable business environment.
“On behalf of His Excellency, President Mahama, I wish to reiterate that Ghana is open for business,” the Minister said.
“We welcome investors in garments, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agro-processing, digital infrastructure, and other sectors to deepen your presence and partnerships in our country.”
She highlighted the recently operationalised 24-hour economy programme, which provides fiscal incentives and duty-free concessions for productive investors, as part of Ghana’s strategy to attract and retain foreign investment.
“The business environment we have built offers a strong foundation for smooth operations and strong returns on investment. Ghana is ready to support investors and ensure their success,” Hon. Ofosu-Adjare added.
The Minister also praised KEDA’s management, traditional authorities, and the workforce in Shama for their contributions, noting that the company’s expansion will generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, boost exports, and reduce import dependence.
“This investment demonstrates that made-in-Ghana products can compete globally, and it signals to the world that Ghana is a reliable, productive, and investor-friendly economy,” she said.
Hon. Ofosu-Adjare concluded by urging all stakeholders to work collaboratively to ensure Ghana’s industrialisation agenda continues to deliver value for citizens and investors alike.
