A consortium of reputable trade associations, including ethe American Chamber of Commerce in Ghana, Ghana Netherlands Business & Culture Council, Spain-Ghana Chamber of Commerce, Ghana South Africa Business Chamber, Canada-Ghana Chamber of Commerce, Japan External Trade Office, and the Chamber of Commerce & Industry, France, is set to launch a series of high- level discussions focused on the future of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Ghana.
This initiative marks the beginning of a comprehensive dialogue involving various stakeholders and influential policymakers, aimed at repositioning Ghana as the premier destination for FDI in Africa.
The discussions will critically analyse the policies proposed by leading political candidates to attract and retain FDI, which has been instrumental in the country’s economic growth through job creation, tax revenue generation, increased capital flows, technology and skills transfer, export development, and infrastructure enhancement. Since 1990, foreign investors have contributed approximately $47.2 billion to the Ghanaian economy, establishing Ghana as a significant recipient of FDI in the subregion.
The inaugural event of this distinguished speaker series will take place on Thursday, August 29, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM. The keynote address will be delivered by John Dramani Mahama, the candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He is expected to present his policy proposals aimed at attracting and retaining investment in key sectors of the Ghanaian economy.
“This series of discussions is crucial for fostering an environment that encourages foreign investment and drives economic development in Ghana,” stated a representative from the consortium.
“We are committed to engaging with policymakers and stakeholders to ensure that Ghana remains a competitive choice for investors". he added.
The consortium invites all interested parties to participate in this vital conversation, which promises to shape the future of FDI in Ghana.
