Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has assured Ghanaians of his dedication to fostering business development, affirming that “Bawumia means business.”

Speaking at the Ghana CEO Presidential Gala at the Movenpick Hotel on Thursday, 7 November, Bawumia highlighted his commitment to building a thriving economy driven by resilient businesses.

Bawumia emphasized that successful national economies are built on strong business foundations, which are essential for job creation, innovation, and sustainable development. He pointed out that a robust business environment is crucial for addressing Ghana’s economic challenges and achieving lasting prosperity.

“Ladies and gentlemen, as you may all be aware, Bawumia means business! From being a banker to Vice President to Presidential candidate of the NPP, my commitment to business development has been consistent,” he said.

“The reason is simple. When businesses do well, the economy does well, and vice versa. Show me a buoyant national economy in any part of the world, and I'll show you strong and resilient businesses behind it,” Bawumia added.

The NPP flagbearer also outlined the steps his administration has taken to support businesses, including policies aimed at boosting entrepreneurship, expanding access to credit, and advancing digitalisation. These efforts, he noted, are intended to bolster the resilience and competitiveness of Ghanaian businesses.

He closed his remarks by pledging that, if elected president, he would continue prioritizing business growth to ensure Ghana’s private sector remains dynamic, innovative, and competitive on the global stage.
