She noted that the report would serve as a useful tool for assessing the country’s investment progress and informing strategies to improve the investment environment. She also commended the collaborating institutions for producing the report.
Representing the Chief Executive Officer of GFZA, Dr. Mary Awusi, the Deputy CEO for Operations, Mr. Lateef Apau Wiredu, joined other stakeholders at the launch and commended the collaborating institutions for their efforts in producing the report.
