President John Mahama says Ghana is open for business and has therefore invited the Japanese business community to invest in the country.
He said the government is focused on making Ghana the manufacturing and export hub of Africa. Speaking at the Presidential Forum on Investment in Ghana at Yokohama, Japan, President Mahama highlighted the government’s 10-billion-dollar Big Push and the 24- hour economy policies aimed at enhancing supply chain and manufacturing.
“For those of you who know the history of the Ghanaian city, it’s been one of the most volatile currencies in Africa, and a few years back, we were said to be the worst-performing currency. I’m happy to announce that this year, the Ghana cedi has been the best-performing currency in the world,” he declared.
