Country Managing Partner of Deloitte Ghana, Daniel Kwadwo Owusu, has called for stronger incentives and practical policy interventions to support private sector growth and accelerate Ghana’s economic transformation.
Speaking at the 10th Ghana CEO Summit in Accra, Mr Owusu emphasised the need for an enabling business environment that encourages investment, innovation and expansion across key sectors of the economy.
According to him, the private sector remains at the centre of Ghana’s development agenda and must be supported with policies that promote productivity, competitiveness and long-term sustainability.
He observed that businesses continue to face a number of operational challenges, making it necessary for government and key stakeholders to introduce practical measures aimed at stimulating growth and boosting investor confidence.
Mr Owusu noted that targeted incentives for businesses, particularly local enterprises, could strengthen industries, create employment opportunities and expand prospects for the youth.
He further stressed the importance of long-term planning and strategic collaboration between government, financial institutions and the private sector to ensure sustainable economic progress.
According to him, Ghana possesses significant potential for economic growth, but meaningful transformation would require deliberate investment, innovation and sustained commitment across critical sectors.
While acknowledging that several policy initiatives have been introduced over the years, Mr Owusu maintained that effective implementation remains essential to achieving tangible results for businesses and the wider economy.
He also highlighted the growing importance of innovation and technology in modern business operations, urging organisations to adapt to evolving global trends in order to remain competitive.
Mr Owusu encouraged businesses to embrace transformation, improve operational efficiency and invest in systems capable of supporting long-term resilience and sustainable growth.
The Deloitte Ghana Country Managing Partner further called for stronger collaboration among industry leaders, policymakers and civil society organisations to drive reforms and promote inclusive economic development.
He stated that closer cooperation among stakeholders would be critical to building a stable business environment capable of attracting both local and foreign investment.
Mr Owusu reaffirmed Deloitte Ghana’s commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at strengthening Ghana’s economy through innovation, strategic advisory services and business transformation.
He added that with the right policies and collective effort, Ghana could position itself as a leading destination for investment and economic growth within the sub-region.
