The Ministry of\u00a0Trade\u00a0and Industry reported that the total trade volume between Ghana and the EU amounted to 6 billion cedis in 2023, underscoring the significant economic partnership between the two regions.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the 2nd Ghana-EU Business Forum, Minister for Trade and Industry, KT Hammond, highlighted Ghana\u2019s increasing export figures and assured investors of Ghana\u2019s status as a favorable destination for investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2023 export figures from Ghana saw an 8% increase, reaching 2.6 billion euros, while imports from the EU declined by 11% from 3.7 billion euros to 3.3 billion euros,\u201d Minister KT Hammond noted during the forum.<\/p>\n
The forum, themed \u201cFostering Investment in Non-Traditional Chains Under EU Global Gateways Strategy,\u201d aimed to bolster trade and investment relations between Ghana and the EU.<\/p>\n
It served as a platform for discussions on enhancing economic cooperation, particularly in non-traditional sectors aligned with the EU\u2019s global strategy.<\/p>\n
Deputy Director-General of the European Commission, Directorate-General for International Partnerships, Myriam Ferran, reiterated the EU\u2019s commitment to advancing sustainable development goals through strengthened trade and investment ties with Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis strategy underscores the EU\u2019s commitment to collaborating with like-minded partners to build sustainable infrastructure and connectivity worldwide,\u201d stated Myriam Ferran, emphasizing the EU\u2019s role in fostering sustainable bonds through robust partnerships.<\/p>\n
In a significant move, the European Union launched a 32 million Euros Special Measure on Manufacturing and Access to Vaccines, Medicines, and Health Technologies in Africa (MAV+) during the forum.<\/p>\n
This initiative aims to bolster vaccine manufacturing and pharmaceutical industry development in Ghana, reflecting the EU\u2019s proactive stance in supporting health infrastructure in Africa amidst global challenges.<\/p>\n
