The Minister of Trade and Industry, Kobina Tahir Hammond, is set to present the Export and Import Regulations 2023 to Parliament today.
This legislative instrument aims to control the importation of 22 specific strategic products, including sugar, rice, poultry, and tripe.
On Tuesday, Parliament postponed the laying of the instrument for the third time, providing the Minister an opportunity to discuss amendments with the Minority caucus.
The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has urged Parliament to endorse the legislative instrument to aid the government’s efforts in reducing the country’s importation levels.
