John Dramani Mahama, the president of Ghana, has positioned his country as the most dependable gateway to international trade by presenting a strong argument for further investment in Africa.
President Mahama said, “I speak today as an African leader and as President of Ghana,” during the opening of the 8th Africa–Singapore Business Forum in Singapore on Tuesday. Our message is straightforward: Ghana is your trustworthy entry point to Africa, and the continent is an attractive place to invest.
Citing the continent’s rapidly growing, youthful population and growing consumer base, he called Africa the world’s most dynamic emerging market.
“There are currently 1.4 billion of us, and by 2030, there will be over 700 million consumers in African cities. We are young, rapidly urbanizing, and connected to the internet.” In terms of the number of participating nations, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is the world’s largest new free trade area. It has reduced supply chain barriers and generated a $3.4 trillion market.
President Mahama emphasized Ghana’s continuing economic reforms, which are meant to boost investor confidence and restore macroeconomic stability.
“We are aware that credibility must be earned. “Ghana is open for business 24 hours a day,” the statement continued. “We are pursuing a purposeful national reset: stabilizing the macroeconomy, restoring confidence, and reforming how we do business.” In order to enable factories, farms, ports, and service centers to run 24/7 shifts in a safe and competitive manner, we are coordinating infrastructure, incentives, and talents.
