GIPC Calls for Stakeholder Participation in Shaping New Investment Promotion Bil

 Chief Executive Officer, of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has called for strong stakeholder participation in shaping the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) Bill, 2025.

The Bill, which is expected to replace the current GIPC Act, 2013 (Act 865), seeks to establish GIPA as the lead agency to encourage, promote, and regulate investments into and within Ghana.

At a stakeholder consultation with public sector representatives in Accra, Madjie said the new framework must reflect the realities of Ghana’s evolving investment climate.

This process is about more than drafting legislation. It’s about listening, building consensus, and ensuring the rules we set actually work for investors and for Ghanaians,” he noted.

The GIPC boss added that the GIPA Bill would tackle persistent issues such as fronting and regulatory inconsistencies, while also strengthening mechanisms to support both local and foreign investors.

The Director of GIPC’s Legal Division, Naa Lamle Orleans-Lindsay, explained that the new law would expand the Authority’s mandate, review minimum foreign capital requirements, and introduce a revised governance structure to better protect investors.

The engagement ended with a lively Q&A session, where participants shared concerns and offered recommendations to refine the draft Bill.
