Representatives from the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), key policy makers and a number of industry players in the business community are set to leverage on the opportunity created by this year’s Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) to attract potential direct foreign investors to Ghana’s economy.
Instructively, this gathering serves as an avenue to connect business to business, government to business and countries willing to engage in sustainable partnerships with potential investors for onward economic development.
Dubbed as the world’s largest investment gathering and the leading platform for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), the meeting is an economic initiative that brings together global corporate leaders, international investors, renowned entrepreneurs and leading technocrats to deliberate on major policies to attract FDI.
According to the World Bank, in 2017, Ghana’s inflows of FDI were US$3.255 billion making the country among the highest receivers of FDI in the world. Assessed by commitments rather than actual inflows, Ghana did even better, attracting intentions to invest to the tune of some US$6 billion, the highest level recorded by the country since it liberalized its investment code in 1995.
Participants are expected to discuss the impact of digital globalization, how policies can be put in place to encourage an innovative investment atmosphere as well as the need to create long-term investment opportunities and how to attract and develop skilled talents from across the world.
