The Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Investment Promotion Center, (GIPC) Yofi Grant says Ghana is recording a lot of indigenous investors therefore more has to be done to support them regardless the numerous opportunities available to take advantage of.
“What is happening lately is that we are recording a lot of indigenous investors coming to us,” GIPC’s Chief Executive Officer, Yofi Grant, told the B&FT in Accra.
Mr. Grant however, admitted that more needs to be done to support indigenous investors, he said there were numerous opportunities available for them to take advantage of.
More importantly, he said it was imperative to make it easier for locals to do business and that it was GIPC’s goal to attract more home-grown investors.
“Although I concede that there is not a lot of capital formation domestically, there are still great opportunities, especially in the One District, One Factory and Planting for Food and Jobs initiatives, as well as in Tourism and ICT,” he said.
“What we want to do is to create an enabling environment where both foreign direct investments and indigenous direct investment play a key role in developing our country.”
