A delegation of 21 companies under Morocco’s financial hub, Casablanca Finance City (CFC), has embarked on a trade mission to Ghana to obtain first-hand information on the country’s business climate and emerging investment opportunities.
Facilitated by the Moroccan Embassy, the tour forms part of CFC’s broader partnership strategy to expand its footprint across Africa as it seeks to drive growth and sustainable development on the continent.
The delegation met officials of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), where Mr Simon Madjie, Chief Executive Officer, outlined key government policy interventions aligned with investor interests.
These include flagship programmes such as the Big Push Infrastructure project and the 24-hour economy initiative, under which the Feed Ghana project falls.
The investors expressed interest in sectors such as poultry production, renewable energy and infrastructure development.
Mr Madjie noted that Ghana’s economy was on a recovery path after challenges that resulted in its temporary lockout from the international capital market.
“With the kind of fiscal and monetary policies we have right now, the Ghanaian economy has begun to stabilise,” he said.
“We have seen growth reach about 6.3 per cent, and we are targeting real GDP growth of about 4.8 per cent for this year and into 2026.”
He underscored the importance of registering with the GIPC, saying it guarantees investment protection, ensures adherence to investor rights and responsibilities, and provides a conducive framework for business operations.
Mr Madjie said Ghana’s investment laws were currently under review, with considerations to remove the capital requirement for foreign investors.
In an interview with the media, Mr Aziz El Khyari, Director of Business Development at CFC, expressed satisfaction with Ghana’s investment environment.
“What we have seen so far is quite impressive, and we believe Morocco can contribute to this growth dynamic since we share the same spirit of openness to international investment,” he said.
The delegation also visited the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), where discussions focused on Ghana’s industrial and business environment.
Established in 2010, the CFC serves as an integrated platform supporting companies seeking to expand across Africa from Morocco.
Positioned as a gateway between Africa, Europe and the Middle East, it offers more than 250 member companies privileged access to key African markets.
