The object of the Bill is to establish the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority to encourage, promote, facilitate and regulate investments into and within Ghana, to provide for the creation of an attractive incentive framework and a transparent, predictable and facilitating environment for investment in Ghana and to facilitate investment outside Ghana by Ghanaian investors in Ghana.
The Bill is a comprehensive law on investment in Ghana which seeks to emphasise the importance of collaboration and coordination between relevant government institutions towards a harmonized regulatory framework on investment. The Bill re-enacts then Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act, 2013 (ACT 865).

In a highly competitive global market for both local and foreign investment, it is clear to the existing Ghana Investment Promotion Centre and the diverse stakeholders of the Centre that new legislation is required to enable the Centre to fulfil the mandate of the Centre efficiently and most importantly for Ghana to remain the preferred destination for investment regionally and on the continent.
