She underscored the critical role Free Zones play in promoting exports.
During her appearance before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Wednesday, January 22, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare described the Free Zones Concept Act 504 of 1995 as outdated and called for a comprehensive review of the law.
She argued that the existing law is not in line with the global free zone ecosystem and needs to be updated.
