Ghana needs strategy to leverage BRICS partnership benefits

The News

An economist at the University of Ghana Business School says a partnership with BRICS could expand trade and investment opportunities, but Ghana must develop a clear national strategy and strengthen indigenous businesses to translate such engagements into economic gains. He cautioned that joining international blocs alone will not automatically transform the economy; the country's progress depends largely on its own policies and commitment to local enterprise.
