Cabinet has approved the Industrial Policy which was developed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Ms Hannah Tetteh, Minister of Trade and Industry, who announced this, said what was left was the industrial support programmes to kick-start its implementation.
Ms Tetteh said the Free Zones Act would be reviewed to conform to modern trends with the passage of a new Legislative Instrument (LI) to regulate the Free Zones.
She noted that the previous LI which enjoined them to pay taxes after five years of operation had lost its usefulness because it had been more than 10 years since the commencement of operations.
On Destination Inspection, the Sector Minister said five companies had been selected and would commence operations in September.
