The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has introduced new measures aimed at tackling fronting business registrations involving foreign investors in the country.
The initiative, according to the Centre, will include monthly educational engagements on selected radio stations across Ghana to deepen public understanding of GIPC regulations and discourage citizens from participating in illegal fronting activities.
Speaking at a workshop organised by Transparency International Ghana in partnership with GIPC on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Deputy Director of GIPC, Michael Okyere, said the growing practice of fronting is depriving the country of substantial revenue and undermining the objectives of Ghana’s investment laws.
He explained that the new public sensitisation campaign forms part of broader efforts by the Centre to ensure compliance with investment regulations and protect opportunities reserved for Ghanaian businesses.
Mr. Okyere further urged the public to adhere to the laws governing investment activities in Ghana and avoid engaging in practices that violate the country’s business registration framework.
Meanwhile, the Head of Finance at Transparency International Ghana, Benedict Doh, noted that the workshop was designed to equip journalists with the knowledge needed to promote transparency and accountability within Ghana’s investment regime.
According to him, strengthening public awareness and media engagement on investment regulations will help improve investor confidence and attract more legitimate investments into the country.
