The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has inaugurated three key governing boards under her Ministry to accelerate Ghana’s industrial transformation, export competitiveness, and investment growth.
The ceremony, held on Wednesday, July 9, brought together the newly constituted boards of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), and the Ghana Export-Import Bank (Exim Bank). According to the Minister, the inauguration forms part of a broader push to align Ghana’s economic institutions with the government’s agenda for job creation, value addition, and global market expansion.
“These boards will play a vital role in shaping the direction of Ghana’s economic engine,” Ofosu-Adjare stated. “We are counting on their leadership to deepen investor confidence, enforce quality standards, and support export-led growth.”
She urged board members to prioritize transparency, innovation, and collaboration across sectors. With global markets becoming increasingly competitive, she emphasized the need for swift reforms and strategic partnerships to position Ghana as a preferred destination for trade and investment.
The GIPC board is expected to champion targeted investment promotion efforts, while the GSA will focus on enhancing product standards and compliance. The Exim Bank board, on its part, will oversee financing support for local exporters and industries aiming to scale up production for international markets.
The Minister expressed confidence in the expertise of the appointed members and called for teamwork and integrity as they take up their mandates.
