Ghana’s BRICS bid presents opportunity to advance economic transformation — Benedicta Lasi

Ms Lasi further emphasised that Ghana’s international economic relationships should be guided by its national development interests rather than geopolitical divisions.

Benedicta Lasi, Executive Chair of the Africa Trade Chamber, has welcomed the Ghanaian government’s initiative to pursue closer engagement with BRICS, describing the move as an opportunity to diversify the country’s international economic partnerships, attract investment and advance its industrialisation and economic transformation agenda.

Beyond international cooperation, Ms Lasi underscored the importance of establishing a long-term national development vision capable of providing continuity across successive political administrations.
