In a bid to accelerate exports and drive industrialization, the Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC) has unveiled a 24-hour Premium Service. This innovative initiative aims to simplify procedures for businesses, ensuring quicker access to markets, particularly within West Africa.
Speaking at the media launch in Accra, Dr. Ishmael Nii Amanor Dodoo, Head of Innovative Finance, Partnership and Markets, explained that the new service seeks to position Ghana as a central hub for manufacturing and export in the region. To achieve this, GIPC will focus on improving key sectors such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, and industrial machinery.
The ultimate goal of the 24-hour Premium Service is ambitious: to create 1.7 million jobs by attracting investment and developing a skilled workforce. This will be achieved through initiatives that engage both educated youth and those with vocational skills in sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and digital services.
By launching this service, GIPC is taking a significant step towards boosting Ghana’s economy and cementing its position as a major player in West Africa’s manufacturing and export industry.
