The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has introduced a 24-hour premium service to expedite investment registration and approvals.
Announcing the initiative at a media lunch in Accra, GIPC’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simon Madjie stated that it will enhance efficiency in processing investor applications and improve service delivery.
He emphasized that the premium service aligns with the government’s 24-hour economy initiative, which seeks to create a dynamic business environment, attract investment, and drive sustained economic growth.
“Our service aligns with global best practices and provides investors with priority processing for their applications, ensuring timely support for urgent business activities,” Mr. Madjie stated.
He further highlighted that, along with ongoing efforts to review the GIPC Act, the initiative demonstrates the Centre’s commitment to removing barriers to investment in Ghana.
Providing more details on the service, GIPC’s Acting Head of Investor Services, Mr. Kwame Kesse-Agyepong, explained that it covers investor registrations, certificate renewals, and automatic and replacement quotas.
He clarified that the premium service is available only upon request, requiring investors to have all mandatory documents in order and complete the necessary payment. “The clock starts ticking once we confirm that all submitted documents are in order,” Mr. Kesse-Agyepong stated in response to a question on the service’s turnaround time.
He added that applications for the 24-hour premium service, could be submitted in-person, or via a dedicated mail; [email protected]
