Ghana is positioning itself to become West Africa’s top assembling hub—with major support from Chinese manufacturers.
Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, says government is actively attracting more Chinese firms to set up assembly plants in the country.
Speaking at the 2025 Ghana–China Business Summit, Mr. Debrah revealed that over 100 Chinese companies already operate in Ghana—proof, he says, that the country remains a viable destination for doing business.
He explained that relocating manufacturing closer to West African markets will cut logistics costs and help companies break through market barriers.
Mr. Debrah outlined sectors the government is prioritizing for foreign investment—among them petrochemicals, housing, automobile manufacturing, electric vehicles, and tourism. He assured Chinese investors of full government backing.
President of the Ghana Union of Traders Association, Dr. Joseph Obeng, urged government to enforce strong local content measures. He wants Ghanaians to be fully involved in foreign-led projects.
Meanwhile, Executive Secretary of GREDA, Sammy Amegayibor, called for deeper innovation through solid partnerships between Ghanaian and Chinese businesses.
