The vice President, Dr. Bawumia has announced that government has taken strategic steps to support the private sector to improve export of raw materials and finished goods.

This according to Dr. Bawumia is in line with government’s plans to make Ghana an export oriented country to generate more revenue.

“Ghana’s private sector continues to play a key role in the industrial transformation agenda and the economic growth of our country”, the Vice President noted.

Delivering the keynote address at the 2023 Ghana Investment and Opportunity Summit in London, UK, the vice President said the recent $3 billion IMF bailout is also part of the measures that will revive the economy and help fix policy and financial challenges.

To make Ghana the preferred destination for investors, Dr. Bawumia said plans to make some 17 sectors which are non-exhaustive as priority areas for national development.

“I have no doubt that a partnership between the private & public sectors will go a long way to bring new expertise and useful ideas towards the formulation of the right policies to induce trade and investment”, Dr. Bawumia stressed.

Dr. Bawumia added that, the country in the next 10 years is expected to see an export growth and this in the long run will generate more revenue and attract investors.

The 2023 Ghana Investment and Opportunity Summit is a 2-day event to help attract investors into the country and also sell to the world the rich nature and resources the country has.
