President Mills: We are determined to enhance investment in Ghana
Accra, Nov. 3, GNA - President John Evans Atta Mills on Tuesday affirmed
government's determination to work towards enhancing a favourable investment climate for
the country.
He said government would work towards ensuring security and safety of investors while
developing the requisite infrastructure that would make Ghana a centre piece of international
investment attraction.
Interacting with a delegation of Equatorial Coca Cola Bottling Company at the Osu Castle,
President Mills admitted there had been some challenges with the economy but did not feel
daunted and was working towards ameliorating the situation.
He said creating an ideal investment regime for Ghana had been a concern for his
administration as entrepreneurs would be key partners in creating employment and bringing in
revenue that were needed for development projects.
"But at the same time, they are expected to abide by ethical standards and comply with
statutory regulations governing their organisations," he said.
President Mills challenged the management of Coca Cola to expand its bottling services
beyond Accra and Kumasi.
He assured them of efforts being made to bring down the rate of inflation to protect their
investments.
Mr Alfonso Libano Daurella, who led the delegation said the company had more than 180
million dollars investment with many employees, thus contributing to the sustenance of
Ghana's economy.
