The GIPA Act: Resetting Ghana’s investment framework
Signed into law in July 2026, Act 1173 repeals and replaces the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act, 2013 (Act 865) with a comprehensive legal framework to promote and facilitate investment, support both local and foreign investments, and align Ghana's investment regime with domestic reforms, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and international best practice.
Against this backdrop, the Government of Ghana enacted the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) Act, 2026 (Act 1173) to modernise its investment framework and respond to the country's evolving development priorities.
Act 1173 further strengthens the Authority’s institutional governance through an expanded Board with broader representation from key public institutions involved in investment administration.
