During the forum, the Korle Klottey Business and Investment Guide 2026 and the Sustainable Development Goals Voluntary Local Review Report 2025 were unveiled. Municipal Chief Executive Alfredos Nii Anyetei Gaisie highlighted the forum's role as an annual platform for assessing investment opportunities and building partnerships. He emphasized KoKMA's strategic importance as Ghana's commercial and administrative hub, noting its hosting of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat.

Korle Klottey occupied a strategic position within Ghana’s economic landscape as the country’s commercial, financial and administrative hub, hosting major financial institutions, diplomatic missions, hospitality facilities, vibrant markets and the central business district.

The assembly is aligning with the government's economic agenda, including the 24-hour economy policy, to boost productivity and create jobs. Gaisie also reported significant improvements in revenue collection, with internally generated funds (IGF) rising from GH¢14.7 million in 2023 to GH¢40 million by the end of 2025. This financial growth has enabled the assembly to fund key development projects, such as market redevelopment and infrastructure improvements, with nearly 80% of interventions financed by IGF.
