Also is the oil and gas industry as well as infrastructure projects which are government’s current focus.
Commenting on the conference, Dr Kwabena Duffuor, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning said “This is the opportune time for investors to come to Ghana. Our economy is doing well, it’s being touted as one of the fastest growing economies and it is strong and resilient. We have made a lot of efforts to diversify and modernize it; above all, we are a stable country where the rule of law, transparency and good governance are held sacred. The World Bank estimates that we need about 2.5 billion dollars annually for the next four to five years to bridge the infrastructural gap”.
Speakers from government institutions, local practitioners and international investors are to set the economic direction of the country over the next twelve months and the medium term.
