Ghana, Africa the Last Frontier

Located in midwestern Africa, Ghana enjoys continued and stable economic growth alongside Nigeria and is part of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States). 

Business Strengths of Ghana

 English as the official language 

Gentle national character 

Relatively safe and free of terrorism 

 Stable political environment with smooth transitions of power according to election results. 

Easy access to West Africa, Europe and the Americas. 

Favorable tax incentive systems, such as exemption of duty for import of materials and equipment on condition that 70% or more of the products are exported, corporate tax exemption for 10 years, as well as various other favorable tax incentives.  

Notable Points

1. Market identification and customer identification. 
Example: “Aiming for domestic demand in Ghana” or “Aiming for West Africa, Europe and the American markets”

2. Aims

Example: Project orders, acquisition of product sales destination, raw materials/resource procurement, production, etc.

 

*Ghana has traditionally been an exporter of resources and agricultural products, but as a nation Ghana is shifting from mere exports of resources to a policy of exporting processed goods and manufactured products that add value as its long-term economic goal. 

Because of Ghana’s strategic location globally, utilizing Ghana as an export base can prove advantageous for reaching West Africa, European and Western markets.     

We recommend projects that utilize Ghana’s strengths such as manufacturing products as well as manufacturing products that match Ghana and African markets.
