The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI) and the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen trade and investment relations between Ghana and Barbados.
The signing took place in Barbados on the sidelines of the 2025 GUBA Awards, a high-profile event that celebrates excellence, innovation, and leadership within the African and Caribbean communities. This year’s awards brought together business leaders, investors, and policymakers to deepen economic collaboration and cultural ties between the two regions.
President of the GNCCI, Stephane Abass Meizah, described the MoU as a major step toward bridging the trade gap between Ghana and Barbados.
“This partnership is a landmark moment for both economies. It will create new opportunities for entrepreneurs, foster knowledge exchange, and enhance business-to-business cooperation,” Mr. Meizah said.
He added that the Chamber is committed to supporting Ghanaian businesses interested in expanding into the Caribbean market and attracting Barbadian investors to explore opportunities in Ghana.
The President of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Paul Inniss, welcomed the agreement, noting that such collaborations are essential to driving regional growth.
“We must continue to build partnerships like this that connect our businesses, our people, and our shared aspirations for sustainable development,” Mr. Inniss stated.
The President and CEO of GUBA Enterprise, Dentaa Amoateng MBE, whose organisation facilitated the engagement, said the partnership reflects GUBA’s broader vision of connecting Africa and the Caribbean through economic empowerment and cultural unity.
“The GUBA Awards have always been about celebrating our shared heritage and progress. This partnership between Ghana and Barbados is a perfect example of how cultural connections can translate into tangible economic outcomes,” she said.
The 2025 GUBA Awards, held in Bridgetown, Barbados, showcased influential figures and organizations making an impact across business, innovation, and community development. The event served as a platform to highlight the growing synergy between Africa and the Caribbean, reinforcing the need for continued collaboration in trade, tourism, and investment.
The MoU between the two chambers is expected to pave the way for trade missions, investment forums, and networking programs to strengthen the Ghana–Barbados business corridor.
