Government to make Ghana best place to invest

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Yoofi Grant, has said government has put in place strategic policies that will make the country the preferred destination for investment.

According to him, government wishes to make Ghana the best place to do business.

He made these known when he interacted with the Ghanaian community in Switzerland when he accompanied President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to partake in the ongoing fifth edition of the Africa CEO Forum, on Monday, March 20, 2017.

“We needed to do reforms that will make Ghana very attractive so that we could attract investment to help us fix our infrastructure, to help us fix our industry and to create jobs,” he stated.

“Because we didn’t have any fiscal space, many of the challenges we met we’ve had to change them into opportunities to once and for all fix our economies and put the country on a certain pedestal that they can now really grow. And we have actually put together very auspicious and audacious ambitions and goals first to make Ghana the best place to invest in and secondly the best place to do business.

“Now, why it is important to you is that in our quest for investment, investment is always about capital and capital is in many ways – the physical cash capital, intellectual capital, and there is also social capital. And so I would urge you to relook at Ghana because one day Ghana will be just like Switzerland and instead of you coming here, you will be coming to Ghana.”
