Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo, the Senior Minister, has invited the private sector to partner government to surge forward since the country is on it’s way up.

According to him, government’s bold initiatives were opening new and innovative spaces for investment, including railway development, an integrated aluminum industry and establishment of industrial parks.
Delivering the keynote address at the Ghana Investment Summit 2017, in Accra, Mr Osafo-Maafo said Government’s proposed initiatives to strengthening the economy and deliver good paying jobs would create an environment that would attract investors.
He said Government intended to deliver its development agenda in partnership with the private sector, both local corporate bodies and multinationals.
Mr Osafo-Maafo said Ghana was in the early stages of an industrial transformation and private sector investment was a significant part of the plan.
The senior minister noted that Ghana is positioned to be an investment hub for the West Africa Region in particular and Africa as a whole.
“An investment hub means if we get it right Ghana will not only be prosperous but can provide economic access for our entire continent,” he added.
Mr Osafo-Maafo said the country did not only have an excellent geographic location, but also enjoyed geo-political stability, rule of law, economic steadiness and highly educated population.
