Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Yofi Grant, has underscored Ghana’s strategic appeal for foreign investments despite the prevailing global economic complexities.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews’ PM Express, Mr. Grant acknowledged the ongoing challenges faced by many countries, including the lingering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and political disruptions in various regions.
However, he emphasized that these challenging times also present unique opportunities for Ghana and the African continent as a whole.
“While there are challenges globally, I see trying times as an opportunity for us for various reasons,” Mr. Grant expressed, noting that post the pandemic and amid the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, several nations are actively seeking new opportunities and locations for their operations.
Mr. Grant highlighted Ghana’s strategic positioning as an attractive investment destination, which has been achieved through consistent efforts to create a favorable business environment.
The country has demonstrated political stability, invested in infrastructure development, and implemented pro-business policies, thereby making it an enticing hub for foreign investors.
“Ghana has positioned itself as a spearhead of African economic emancipation and empowerment in a very creditable way,” he affirmed.
Mr. Grant further emphasized Ghana’s commitment to providing a business-friendly climate and emphasized the significance of public-private collaborations and partnerships to drive economic growth and development.
Ghana, with its resilient approach and pro-investment policies, aims to tap into the emerging opportunities presented by the evolving global economic landscape.
