Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reiterated his unwavering commitment to business development, stressing that thriving economies are built on strong and resilient businesses.

Speaking at the Ghana CEO Presidential Gala, held at the Movenpick Hotel on Thursday, 7 November, Bawumia emphasised the critical role of the private sector in driving national growth.

Bawumia noted that all successful national economies are underpinned by robust businesses, which are essential for creating jobs, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable development.

He argued that a strong business environment is key to addressing many of Ghana's economic challenges and achieving long-term prosperity.

The NPP flagbearer also outlined the measures his government has taken to create a favourable environment for businesses to thrive.

These include introducing policies that support entrepreneurship, improve access to credit, and boost digitalisation, all of which contribute to enhancing the resilience and competitiveness of Ghanaian businesses.

Dr Bawumia concluded by reaffirming his commitment to continue prioritising business development if elected president.

He stressed that, under his leadership, the government would work tirelessly to ensure that Ghana’s business sector remains dynamic, innovative, and globally competitive, contributing significantly to the nation's economic success.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you may all be aware, Bawumia means business! From being a banker to Vice President to Presidential candidate of the NPP, my commitment to business development has been consistent."

"The reason is simple. When businesses do well, the economy does well, and vice versa. Show me a buoyant national economy in any part of the world and I'll show you strong and resilient businesses behind it."
