In a tweet sighted by GhanaWeb Business, GIPC emphasized that Ghana was open for business.

According to the World Investment Report 2022, global direct investment stood at 1.6 trillion dollars (about $4,900 per person in the US) in 2021, which was expected to grow in the medium term.

Africa’s share of the total global inward investment however stood at US$83 billion as compared to US$29 billion in 2020, accounting for 5.2 percent of global direct investment.

The report added that flows to Ghana that year rose from 39 percent to US$2.6 billion owing to projects in the extractive industries supported by efficient supply chains, adding that there was more room for improvement in the country and the African continent.
