The manufacturing sector continues to build momentum in West Africa and Ghana remains a central driver in local development and international investment. With its stable political landscape, budding entrepreneurial population and sustainable power infrastructure, it is ‘Open for Business’ according to the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
