The Chief Executive Officer of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), Seth Twum-Akwaboah, has stated that business and investor confidence in Ghana has seen significant improvement over the past six months.
Speaking on PM Express on Joy News, Mr. Twum-Akwaboah noted that recent economic stability measures and government interventions are beginning to yield positive results, restoring optimism within the business community.
“Over the last six months, we’ve observed a notable boost in confidence among businesses and investors,” he said. “There’s still work to be done, but the signs are encouraging.”
He attributed the renewed confidence to better macroeconomic indicators, policy consistency, and increased engagement between the public and private sectors.
Mr. Twum-Akwaboah urged policymakers to maintain the momentum by addressing structural challenges such as high production costs, access to credit, and bureaucratic delays, which continue to affect many local businesses.
“Sustaining this confidence will require continuous improvement in the business environment and stronger support for local industry,” he added.
The AGI CEO also called for more deliberate policies to support manufacturing, innovation, and value addition to strengthen Ghana’s industrial base.
His remarks come as Ghana seeks to accelerate economic growth and attract foreign investment following a period of economic turbulence.
