The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie, has underscored the need for greater institutional collaboration to improve Ghana’s investment climate and build long-term investor confidence.

He made the remarks during a recent courtesy meeting with the leadership of the Ghana International Trade Commission (GITC), led by its Executive Secretary, Mrs. Mavis Adjei-Kwaa, at the GIPC office in Accra.

A key outcome of the meeting was a proposal to establish a joint technical committee between the two institutions. 

The committee would focus on aligning trade and investment policies, sharing sector-specific data, and developing coordinated strategies to attract sustainable investment while safeguarding local industries.

Mr. Madjie welcomed the initiative, stressing the importance of inter-agency collaboration in removing bottlenecks and streamlining investor engagement processes.

“Our ability to attract sustainable investment depends on how well we align our institutions and simplify the investor journey,” he said. “This collaboration has the potential to enhance both investor confidence and the protection of Ghanaian enterprises.”

He further noted that access to targeted, real-time data would enable GIPC to identify promising sectors and promote opportunities that support Ghana’s national development priorities.

Mrs. Adjei-Kwaa reiterated GITC’s readiness to support the Centre with sector intelligence and technical insights to ensure that trade remedies, investment facilitation, and industrial growth are well-aligned.
