The Ghana Investment Promotion Center is expecting nearly twenty-four thousand new jobs to be created from foreign investments registered between July and September this year.
The new projects according to figures from the Center are valued at a total of almost 5 billion Ghana cedis.
Joy Business’ George Wiafe reports that of the projected job openings, twenty-two thousand are expected to be reserved for Ghanaians, whiles the rest will go to foreigners.
Nearly thirteen thousand of them should be available in building and construction, whilst the services sector takes up a little over 4,970 thousand.
More than half of the projects that were registered, about 62 percent of them were purely foreign owned.
But some Ghanaians are also into joint venture arrangements with foreigners in about 56 percent of the projects.
The Greater Accra region still continues to attract most of the projects registered by foreign investors with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, followed by the Ashanti region.
