PARIS: President John Dramani Mahama has urged French business leaders to take advantage of Ghana’s branding as the most stable democracy in Africa to step up their investment in the country.
Receiving a delegation from MEDEF International at the Flagstaff House yesterday, he said although French companies were represented in some sectors of Ghana’s economy, they could explore more opportunities.
MEDEF International, which is the most representative organisation of the French private sector at the international level, comprises about 800,000 companies operating in various parts of the world.
The delegation, which included about 30 high-level business managers with interest in infrastructure, architecture, banking and financial services, transport and logistics, industrial projects, energy and I.T among others, was on a two-day investment trip to Ghana.
They were led to the Flagstaff House by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre ( GIPC), Mrs Mawuena Trebarh.
While at this he also advises them to look at investments that could benefit the regional bloc ECOWAS.
