Caretaker Minister for Trade and Industry, Samuel Abu Jinapor joined the Minister for Finance and the Governor of Bank of Ghana, at a meeting with the German Federal Minister for Finance, Hon. Christian Lindner, and other members of the diplomatic community.
Their discussions centred on the future of the Compact with Africa, an initiative of G20 under the presidency of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2017, aimed at developing comprehensive, coordinated, and country specific Investment Compacts between individual African countries, international organizations, and other partners, to promote private investment in Africa.
Ghana is already making strides with this Compact, particularly, with the ease of doing business, through legislative and policy reforms, such as the new Comapnies Act, 2019 (Act 992), the Corporate Restructuring and Insolvency Act, 2020 (Act 1015), the establishment of the Office of the Registrar of Companies, and digitalization of Government services.
“Our commitment is to bring prosperity to the Ghanaian people by attracting viable investments into the country. With the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) already taking shape, and as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat, Ghana, through the policies and programmes being implemented by the Akufo-Addo Government, is well positioned to be the hub of business in Africa” Mr. Jinapor stressed.
