GFZA promotes tax incentives, 7,000 acres of industrial land to attract investors
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA), Dr Mary Awusi, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to creating a favourable business environment by offering attractive incentives and industrial land to investors.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry at the opening of the 7th Ghana Investment and Trade Week (GITW) in Accra on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Dr Awusi said the government is determined to position Ghana as one of Africa’s most competitive investment destinations.
She highlighted the benefits available under the Free Zones Scheme, noting that investors are entitled to a range of incentives aimed at promoting manufacturing and export-led businesses.
According to her, these include a 10-year corporate tax exemption, customs duty waivers on production inputs, unrestricted repatriation of profits, and access to major international markets.
