We’re addressing your concerns, don’t quit Ghana – Amin Adam to French businesses

The government is urging the French business community to reconsider any plans to relocate their operations from Ghana, despite the current tax environment.

Finance Minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam reassured members of the French Chamber of Commerce that efforts are being made to reduce undue pressure and alleged harassment by some Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) officials, to create a more favourable business climate for foreign investors.

At the Annual Cocktail event with the French business community and during the launch of the France-Ghana Economic Report 2023-2024, held at the French Ambassador’s residence in Accra on Friday, Dr. Amin Adam encouraged French businesses to remain patient and committed to Ghana, highlighting government measures intended to support and sustain foreign investments.

“I want to appeal to you to continue to stay in Ghana because we are addressing all the issues that you have raised with me. Issues relating to taxes and harassment of businesses by tax collectors, you will notice have been resolved.

“We’ve had to withdraw all the tax collectors who were allegedly harassing businesses from those centres of operation, and so you won’t see them anymore,” he said
