The programme is aimed at forging a relationship of mutual prosperity’ between the private and public sectors to underatnd that neither can thrive without the well-being of the other.

Overall, the Ghana Mutual Prosperity Dialogue (GMPD) will help improve the business environment in Ghana, attract more foreign direct investments, and enhance the country’s competitiveness by fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors.

The GMPD will also seek to unlock investment opportunities and promote economic growth in Ghana.

As Ghana emerges from its recent macroeconomic challenges, its leadership has deemed this engagement necessary to acquire considerable input from the private sector to enable the government to improve the business environment in the country, thus creating an environment conducive to both foreign and domestic investment requires concerted efforts by a broad range of stakeholders.

The International Finance Corporation will support the Government of Ghana through facilitation and provision of technical assistance.

“In Marrakesh [Morocco], the IMF said we have done our part and this is a testament of what we are doing. We are recovering steadily. This agreement with the EU reflects our shared commitment to sustainable development and economic progress”.

“Together, we will pave the way for a double digital and green transition, boost the private sector, including the agribusiness sector and strengthen financial management systems”, he explained.
