President John Mahama says the outcome of meetings in Davos, Switzerland indicate high levels of investor interest in Ghana.
He said the country must take advantage of these interests and strategise well in order to grow the economy.
The president made the remark at the Kotoka International Airport when he arrived in the country after attending the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland.
The president mentioned responsible mining and extractive industry, agriculture and inequality as some of the key issues discussed at the forum.
According to the president, about 15 different bilateral meetings were held.
Discussions of Ghanaian interests were largely centred on investments and dealing with challenges in the mining and energy sectors.
Prior to his visit to Switzerland, the president made a stop-over at Abu-Dhabi where other bilateral discussions were held.
The president hinted of commitments by the United Arab Emirates to also invest in the energy sector in the country.
