GIPC CEO calls for regulatory harmonization and tax reforms to boost investment

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has emphasized the need for regulatory harmonization and tax reforms to enhance Ghana’s business environment and attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Speaking at Ghana’s Economic Outlook 2025, a forum organized by the Ghanaian-German Economic Association (GGEA), Mr. Madjie addressed an audience of industry leaders, policymakers, and economic experts, stressing that Ghana’s economic future depends on creating a stable and predictable investment climate.
“Ghana’s challenges are not new, but how we respond will determine whether we remain a competitive investment destination. A coordinated regulatory framework and investor-friendly tax policies are critical to restoring confidence and driving growth,” he stated.
He expressed optimism that ongoing service enhancements at GIPC and government-led initiatives would reaffirm Ghana’s position as the region’s top investment hub.
Mr. Madjie was joined by:
Hon. Seth E. Terkper – Presidential Advisor on the Economy Dr. M.C. Vasnani – President of GGEA Prof. Godfred Bokpin – Economist & Professor of Finance Mr. Kofi Frempong-Kore – Partner and Head of Tax at KPMG
The event served as a platform to discuss strategies for economic resilience, business growth, and investment attraction in Ghana.
