The Managing Director of the Graphic Communications Group Ltd (GCGL), Mr. Ato Afful, has called for greater confidence, unity, and focus as Ghana navigates its economic recovery and growth trajectory.
Speaking at the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting held at the Labadi Beach Hotel today in Accra, Mr. Afful emphasized the need for Ghanaians to “step forward in faith and strength,” noting that despite the nation’s immense talent across industries, there is often hesitation under the collective identity of Brand Ghana.
“We have some of the most talented people across the globe doing incredibly amazing things, but when we show up under Brand Ghana, we doubt ourselves,” he said. “Let us commit to an agenda that enables this country to move forward in leaps and bounds.”
Mr. Afful acknowledged the gains made in Ghana’s financial markets and praised the Bank of Ghana and financial sector players for their efforts. He urged citizens to support the institutions driving progress, reminding them that “brands are built on the promise of trust that comes from delivery.”
The meeting, a longstanding collaboration between Graphic Business and Stanbic Bank Ghana, brought together leaders from academia, the financial sector, and the media. It served as a platform for dialogue on national economic priorities and policy direction.
Reinforcing the importance of this dialogue, Mr. Afful said the Graphic Business-Stanbic Bank forum has become one of Ghana’s key platforms for shaping policy discussions.
He concluded his address by calling on stakeholders to seek clarity in simplicity: “Let’s find answers to the simple things and get the simple things done. That’s how building blocks are laid — one consistent stage at a time.”
The breakfast meeting was supported by the Labadi Beach Hotel and attracted participants from across media, finance, and academia.
