A Presidential aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party
(NPP), Joe Ghartey, has said that the country should do all it can to continue
to attract foreign investment.
Hon. Ghartey who is the author of Ghana’s leading legal text
on foreign investment, Doing Business and Investing in Ghana, made this comment
when he had successful meetings with business leaders interested in a wide
range of business.
He used the occasion to brief the business leaders on the
legal framework for doing business and investing in Ghana. For those interested
in the petrochemical sector, Joe Ghartey informed the potential investors of
recent developments in the petrochemical industry in Ghana including the
establishment of an institutional framework for the sector which is seeking to
create a petrochemical hub.
Other areas investors showed interest in was large scale
mining, ICT, education and renewable energy.
The investors asked about Ghana’s economic situation, but
after discussions it was agreed that the current situation would not last
forever and should not influence medium to long term investments.
Joe Ghartey returned to Ghana on the 8th of August after a
week of successful business promotion in the United Kingdom.
