The Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana (IEAG) is urging the government to strengthen regulatory frameworks and policy coordination to enhance the country’s export competitiveness.
Speaking at a media event in Ashaiman, IEAG Executive Secretary Samson Asaki Awingobit expressed optimism that continued prudent monetary policy and engagement with the private sector will boost trade volumes and confidence in 2026.
Awingobit praised the Bank of Ghana (BoG) for its steady stewardship in 2025, citing its role in maintaining macroeconomic resilience, trade continuity, and currency stability.
“Strengthened regulatory frameworks and policy coordination will further support Ghana’s export competitiveness,” he said, adding that the cedi is expected to maintain sustainable levels, benefiting both importers and exporters.
The IEAG also called for balanced and informed reporting on economic management, highlighting both challenges and successes. “This will help reflect the true state of our economy and support informed decision-making,” Awingobit emphasized.
