The Ghana Investment Promotion Center says it is embarking on a drive to encourage local businesses to investment more in the country.
It comes after the GIPC recorded foreign direct investments of $1.1 billion for last year, twice the figure for 2009.
Locally generated investments however stood at just 180 million dollars.
GIPC Chief Executive, George Aboagye told Joy Business the local campaign is also aimed at preparing the business community to welcome their foreign counterparts.
He said the campaign will be conducted in all ten regions.
Meanwhile, some 120,000 jobs are expected to be created from the 385 new projects registered with the GIPC last year.
Ghanaians are expected to take up 103,000 of those jobs whilst expatriates take up the rest.
