Ghana Outlines Industrial Policy Support During Accra Summit

The Ghana Industrial Summit was held in Accra, where Sampson Ahi, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, addressed the various policy commitments of the government. Ahi stated that the government is rolling out policies to support investment, innovation, production, and job creation in key sectors including textiles and garment, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and agribusiness. These policies include incentives, tax relief, and duty-free machinery imports facilitated through the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat.

The government plans to support this industrial push through a dedicated 1.5-gigawatt renewable energy pipeline, which is intended to supply stable power for manufacturing, agro-processing, and other energy-intensive industries. The summit, organized by the Association of Ghana Industries, focused on driving sustainable export-led industrial growth through energy reliability and digital innovation.
