An Italian business delegation has called on the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Nana Ama Dokuaa Asiamah-Adjei.

The team is in the country to explore areas of partnership between them and the Ghanaian business community. Their areas of interest are in the production of leather shoes, water treatment plants, construction and real estate, winery, among others.

Addressing the team, a Deputy Minister of Trade in charge of SMEs, Madam Dokuaa, assured that government is focused on the empowerment of the private sector and is thus ready to embrace opportunities to deepen relationships between Ghanaian and their Italian counterparts.

“We continue to enable the private sector with competitive incentives and an enabling environment. It is of no reason that Ghana has stayed the most attractive investment climate in West Africa amid the political and economic instability in the sun-region”, she stated.

She briefed them on the government's 10-point industrialisation agenda and its goals of value addition to enable the country take advantage of the numerous market access opportunities created by the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement.

She invited the Italian delegation to embrace incentives offered under the One District, One Factory initiative and partner with Ghanaians to set up businesses in the country.

The team had earlier met with private business associations such as the Association of Ghana Industries.
