The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, said Ghana's trade facilitation remains a top priority as the government seeks to unlock new business potential and strengthen global market competitiveness.

Speaking at the 2025 CEO Connect Summit organised by the Canada Ghana Chamber of Commerce, Debrah emphasised that targeted investments and strong economic management are crucial for protecting and safeguarding Ghana's private sector.

“Our government continues to prioritise trade facilitation and infrastructure to ease the movement of goods and services across borders, maintain macroeconomic stability, and implement reforms to ensure that Ghana remains a safe and attractive investment destination,” he said.

He also assured that the government is committed to maintaining strict fiscal discipline while channeling investments into critical growth sectors to sustain Ghana’s recent economic rebound.

For his part, the Deputy Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Mohammed Adam Sukparu, said that as Africa embraces the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), headquartered in Accra, its ability to integrate and prosper as one market depends heavily on digital technology, innovation, and strong partnerships.

He noted that digital tools and platforms are no longer optional but are now the foundation of competitiveness, resilience, and global relevance.

“Under the leadership of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, Ghana is actively implementing bold policies and investments to establish a digitally enabled economy, ranging from e-governance platforms to digital financial inclusion and broadband expansion into rural communities, ensuring no one is left behind,” he said.
