CIRIP calls for stronger insolvency framework in Ghana to boost investment
What happened
The Chartered Institute of Restructuring and Insolvency Practitioners (CIRIP) Ghana called for a stronger business rescue and insolvency framework in Ghana to protect investments and boost investor confidence. The institute noted that clear rules for managing business failures are essential for attracting investment. The President of CIRIP stated that Ghana's prior legal framework primarily focused on liquidation, limiting reorganization options for viable enterprises experiencing financial difficulties.
