Savannah Region tops 2024 Regional Entrepreneurship Index

Accra, Sept. 06, GNA – The Savannah Region has emerged as the latest region with a “moderately free” environment for businesses and entrepreneurial activities in the country.

The Africa Centre for Entrepreneurship and Youth Empowerment (ACEYE), a policy think-tank, ranked the Region first in its 2024 edition of the Regional Entrepreneurship Freedom (REF) index.

The assessment highlights regional disparities and identifies areas where entrepreneurship freedom can be strengthened, using 14 indicators.

These include regulation, financial freedom, freedom from corruption, monetary freedom, freedom from government, fiscal freedom, investment freedom, property rights, information freedom, market freedom, cultural freedom, technological freedom, labour freedom and trade freedom.

Speaking at the report launch, Mr Emmanuel Acquah, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ACEYE, said the Region performed creditably well except in the area of financial freedom and the fight against corruption.
