GIPA, GUTA agree measures to protect Ghana’s retail sector

The institutions also pledged to undertake a joint public education campaign on Ghana’s informal retail regulations, the legal obligations of foreign investors and channels for reporting suspected violations.

They also agreed to establish a dedicated monitoring and enforcement unit, supported by a direct reporting mechanism through which traders could report suspected cases of foreign-owned informal retail operations and fronting.

The agreement, GIPA said in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, followed a meeting convened under the directive of the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MoTAI), led by Mr Simon Madjie, Chief Executive Officer of GIPA, with support from Mr Abdul Razak Baba, Deputy Chief Executive Officer.
