The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has delivered a clear and confident message to Ghana’s business community, signaling industry-led growth and wealth creation which remains at the heart of the NDC’s economic agenda.
Speaking at the Kwahu Business Forum on April 3, Mr. Debrah reaffirmed the commitment of the government under President John Dramani Mahama to drive sustainable economic expansion through a revitalized industrial base.
“We are building a compact, results-driven partnership between government and industry,” Mr. Debrah stated. “Beyond macroeconomic discipline, we will ensure efficient regulation that actively supports the creation, growth, and resilience of businesses.”
Mr Debrah’s remarks position the NDC government strategy as one focused not only on stability, but on practical, investor-ready reforms designed to unlock productivity and scale.
A Policy Direction Anchored in Growth and Innovation
Mr. Debrah emphasized that the future of Ghana’s economy depends on clear, inclusive, and forward-looking policies that align with global best practices.
He highlighted the need for consistent, incremental innovation, a predictable regulatory environment, and a strong public-private collaboration.
The goal, he noted, is to create a business ecosystem that is both shock-resistant and globally competitive, enabling Ghanaian industries to thrive in an increasingly dynamic global market.
Kwahu Business Forum, The Platform for Real Economic Action
The Kwahu Business Forum—an initiative championed by Mr. Debrah and his government—continues to evolve as a strategic platform for investment, partnerships, and industrial growth.
The forum is held annually during the Easter festivities in Kwahu, and designed to promote value addition across key sectors, drive inclusive economic development, facilitate targeted sector growth, and also enable direct investor matchmaking
This year’s edition builds on previous successes, reinforcing the forum’s role in strengthening the private sector as the engine of national development.
By far, this is yet, a clear unambiguous signal to Investors, that Ghana is positioning itself as a competitive, resilient, and industry-driven economy, backed by a government committed to enabling business success.
