According to the Director of the group, Tuuli Saarela, “Ghana, with a fast growing economy presents itself with a lot of different sectors that are moving and booming with the oil sector being one of them. Growing service economies like the technology and financial services as well as other traditional sectors are part of these moving sectors”.Finland is also looking at helping Ghana with her re-aforestation efforts due to its position as one of the leading countries in forestry.
