National Export and Import Equalisation Scheme (NEIES)

The innovative National Export and Import Equalisation Scheme(NEIES) is a scheme designed to induce the large urban business population to export to generate its own foreign currencies to import goods and services without paying port duties and taxes. This is expected to continuously reduce the use of foreign currencies generated by Ghana’s traditional export sector for private sector imports. Government and public institutions will as a result eventually have exclusive access to and use of foreign currency from Ghana’s traditional export sector. The main objective of NEIES is to trigger a massive and accelerated non-traditional export-led expansion of the Ghanaian economy to generate sustainable mass employment opportunities and enduring prosperity in Ghana.

Benefits

The successful implementation of NEIES will;

1. Sustainably stop the persistent depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against major international currencies.
2. Enhance the competitiveness of Ghanaian non-traditional exporters in the global market.
3. Increase Government revenues in correlation with increasing NEIES imports.
4. Facilitate the sustainable reduction of cost of living in Ghana.
5. Facilitate the successful and sustainable implementation of government’s export-led ‘one-district one-factory’ policy.
6. Trigger intense and persistent competition among Ghanaian importers to induce them to diversify to the non-traditional export sector to generate foreign currency to ensure the survival of their businesses.
7. Minimize speculation on the depreciation of the cedi against other major currencies, which usually becomes a limiting factor to substantial foreign investments into the Ghanaian economy. This will further allay the fears of investors.
8. Motivate companies to export to generate foreign currency to enable them enjoy priority access to procurement and other government and public institutional contracts.
9. Minimize significantly and gradually alleviate Ghana’s over reliance on foreign grants and loans for its development.
