“The event is not only to applaud achievements but to reaffirm our belief in the private sector’s power to drive national transformation,” he stated.
Mr. Miezan reiterated the Chamber’s mandate under L.I. 611 of 1968 (Act 232) to protect and promote the interests of Ghana’s private sector, ensuring competitiveness, ethical conduct, and sustainable growth.
He called for deeper collaboration between government and industry, emphasising that real support must reflect in budgets, credit flows, infrastructure delivery, and protection of local businesses.
“We welcome government’s renewed commitment to industrial revitalisation, infrastructure financing, and value-chain development,” he added.
