Plenary session 1: Strengthening the Ghana-EU Trade and Investment Partnership in the context of the New Government’s objectives

In light of Ghana’s economic reset under the new government, what opportunities exist for Ghana and the EU to deepen their trade and investment relations, thereby supporting the country's development objectives?

The panel will examine the impact of key agreements such as the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on trade and investment flows. It will also focus on how international agreements on investment can help build investor confidence, attract foreign direct investment, and align with Africa's unique economic context. The panel aims to identify emerging sectors with potential for deeper EU-Africa trade and investment, emphasising comparative advantages, sustainable development, and mutually beneficial collaborations.
