New legal framework to enhance more efficient, investor-friendly services in Ghana – GIPA CEO

Speaking at the official opening of the Ghana Trade House in London, Mr Madjie said the transition from the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) to GIPA, following the passage of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority Act, marked a significant milestone in the country’s investment promotion agenda.

President John Dramani Mahama assented to the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority Act, 2026 (Act 1173) in July this year, formally transforming GIPC into GIPA and giving the Authority an expanded mandate to attract, facilitate, promote and retain investments, while supporting the outward expansion of Ghanaian enterprises.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), Simon Madjie, says the Authority’s new legal framework will enhance its ability to provide faster, more efficient and investor-friendly services as Ghana seeks to attract greater investment.
