The newly appointed Executive Secretary of the Ghana International Trade Commission (GITC), Mavis Adjei-Kwaa, has assured of initiatives to promote local industries and support their production at cheaper rates.
According to her, providing support for local industries will be one of her key priorities to ensure fair competition within the business community.
She made the commitment after a brief engagement with the staff of GITC to officially begin work as Executive Secretary.
“We shall do our best, in line with the mandate of the President, to support our local businesses. I will work with the Minister for Trade and Agribusiness to provide some guidance to the President on reviewing certain taxes so our businesses can compete effectively with international ones,” she told journalists.
The GITC has been at the forefront of promoting fair trade practices among local businesses and their foreign counterparts.
The appointment of its new Executive Secretary, Mavis Adjei-Kwaa, is a significant step toward boosting the operations of the Commission since its establishment a few years ago.
In a speech to welcome the new Executive Secretary, the Head of Research and Planning at the GITC, Bernad Manu Afreh, assured of adequate support for government initiatives aimed at transforming Ghanaian industries.
The team welcomed Mavis Adjei-Kwaa into the office with a tour of some key policy departments.
