The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s growing automotive industry, promising enhanced incentives for members of the Automobile Assemblers Association of Ghana.
Speaking at the 2025 Ghana Automotive Summit held in Accra, Mr. Debrah highlighted the sector’s strategic importance in job creation, technology transfer, and industrial transformation.
“As government, we remain committed to providing the right incentives and policy environment to encourage the growth of local automobile assembling. This sector is vital to Ghana’s industrial future,” he said.
However, Mr. Debrah also urged stakeholders to prioritise open dialogue and constructive engagement to resolve existing challenges hampering progress.
“We must work collaboratively to address bottlenecks within the sector whether they relate to regulation, supply chains, or infrastructure. A united approach is key,” he emphasised.
The Ghana Automotive Summit brought together industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and manufacturers to discuss the sector’s outlook, investment opportunities, and policy directions.
The Automobile Assemblers Association of Ghana has in recent times called for more structured support to scale up local vehicle production, citing competition from imported vehicles and rising operational costs.
The government’s pledge is seen as a positive step toward positioning Ghana as a competitive automotive hub in West Africa.
