Ghana is implementing various initiatives to strengthen its export sector and expand international market access. Domestically, the Ghana Shippers’ Authority and the Bank of Ghana have introduced revised export proceeds guidelines, including a new Letter of Commitment (LOC) system via the Integrated Customs Management System to improve financial oversight and ensure the repatriation of export proceeds.

On the international front, efforts are being made to connect Ghanaian businesses with foreign markets. The Ghana Enterprises Agency has engaged with American businesses in Ohio to assist micro, small, and medium enterprises in competing globally. Additionally, following the 2026 UK-Ghana Trade and Investment Summit, the UK-Ghana Trade Resource Centre was launched. This centre, a partnership involving the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce and the JET Programme, aims to help businesses navigate export requirements and leverage the UK-Ghana Trade Partnership Agreement to facilitate bilateral trade.
