With representatives from various government ministries, agencies, and private sector organizations, the PCAED is well-positioned to drive meaningful change in Ghana’s export sector. The inclusion of industry leaders and trade professionals will ensure that the committee’s recommendations are informed by practical experience and market realities.
The PCAED’s work will focus on diversifying and growing Ghana’s non-traditional export base. This will involve identifying new markets, products, and services that can be developed and promoted to drive economic growth. By expanding the country’s export base, the committee aims to reduce Ghana’s reliance on traditional exports and create new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs. This will contribute to the country’s economic development and help achieve the President’s vision for a globally competitive, export-driven economy.
The inauguration of the PCAED marks a significant step towards promoting economic growth and development in Ghana.

The PCAED’s success will depend on its ability to develop and implement effective strategies for export development. This will require collaboration with stakeholders across the private and public sectors, as well as with international partners. By working together, the committee can identify opportunities and challenges and develop solutions that promote export growth and economic development. With careful planning and implementation, the PCAED can make a significant contribution to Ghana’s economic growth and development.
