President Nana Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to assist in the government’s efforts to build a business-friendly economy.
He noted that this will enable the nation to get to the stage where the exploitation of the available opportunities will help to build an optimistic, self-confident, self-reliant, and prosperous nation.
Nana Akufo-Addo said this at the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre’s (GIPC) Summit, dubbed ‘Spark up’.
The summit, which was held both physically and online, was under the theme “Maximizing Ghana’s Investment Potential.”
He said the government since 2017 had put in place measures to reduce the cost of doing business, improve the business environment, and made the Ghanaian economy, not only one of the most business-friendly economies in Africa but also one of the fastest-growing economies in the world between 2017 and 2020.
The President said the government, had made deliberate efforts in determining the investment priorities of Ghana and taken steps to mobilize the necessary resources for the growth of those priority areas.
“This is because we want to help transform Ghana from being a mere producer and exporter of raw materials to a value-added, industrialized economy that will provide opportunities, jobs, and prosperity for all Ghanaians, thereby creating a wiser nation that is a wealthy inclusive, sustainable, empowered and resilient one.”
