The Business & Financial Times July 9, 2021 Blame them for high cost of goods The Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) and Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF) have reported Shipping Line Operators in the country to the Council of State (COS) over activities they claim are leading to the high cost of goods. They urged the council at a meeting called by the Council of State to investigate the rising cost of goods and services in the country, noting that there are a number of charges on the books of shipping lines that have outlived their usefulness and are unreasonably increasing the cost of doing business resulting in high pricing of goods.
