New Trade Commission boss assumes office, assures of support to local businesses

The newly appointed Executive Secretary for the Ghana International Trade Commission, Mavis Adjei-Kwaa, has assured of initiatives to promote local industries and support their production at cheaper rates.

According to her, providing support for local industries will be part of her key priorities to ensure that there’s fair competition among the business community internally.

She made these commitments after a short engagement with the staff of GITC to officially begin work as Executive Secretary on Tuesday, April 15.

We shall do our best in line with the mandate of the president to support our local businesses. I will work with the Minister for Trade and Agribusiness to provide some guidance to the president on reviewing some taxes so our businesses can compete with international ones effectively,” she told journalists.

The GITC has been at the forefront of the promotion of fair trade practices among local businesses and their foreign counterparts.

The appointment of its new Executive Secretary, Mavis Adjei-Kwaa, is a giant step in boosting the operations of the Commission since its establishment a few years ago.

In a speech to welcome the new Executive Secretary, Head of Research and Planning at the GITC, Bernad Manu Afreh assured of adequate support to government initiatives aiming at transforming Ghanaian industries.

The team welcomed Mavis Adjei into the office with a tour of some key policy departments.
