The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) says it is strengthening its Influence in West Africa's Invest­ment Landscape in order to rake in more foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country. This, it said, was being done by boosting its cutting-edge digi­tal strategies, proactive investor engagement, and comprehensive facilitation services to stand out in the investment market. A statement issued by the centre, yesterday, said so far, its efforts in investment promotion have yielded impressive results, positioning the country as the second-highest recipient of FDI in West Africa. In 2021 alone, it said Ghana attracted $2.6 billion in foreign in­vestments, as reported by the Unit­ed Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). "This success can be attributed to Ghana's business-friendly envi­ronment, a skilled workforce, and an abundance of natural resources, making it an attractive destination for investors," it said. The statement said GIPC's initiatives, including the Sustain­able Development Goals (SDG) investor roadmap developed with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), had been instrumental in transforming sustainability challenges into viable private-sector investment oppor­tunities. "These efforts not only bolster Ghana's economic growth but also contribute to the broader goal of sustainable development across the region," it said.
