The Government of Ghana and its agency have been urged to be more engaging with the investor community before making laws that affect their businesses.
Executive Secretary of the American Chamber of Commerce, Simone Madjie said the county has its sovereign rights to enact laws, and further engagements with investors to come out with concrete and realistic laws governing the business community will boost investor confidence.
According to him, the plight of the investor is considered to increase the investor in the country.
He made these remarks at the 9th edition of the Economic Counsellors Dialogue organized by the Ghana Investments Promotion Center, GIPC.
” If there could be more engagement in making the law, we know it’s Ghana’s sovereign right to make the law but if you’re making it you need to bear in mind that the people who put their money here,” He said.
Revenue mobilization must be done in a way that will make the company survive because the company is employing Ghanaians, so that is affecting your investment here, so how do you form the partnership in meeting SDG 17?” Mr. Madjie added.
Mr Madjie noted the need to build the capacity of local partners to help find the right people to fund their partnerships.
This year’s Economic Counsellors Dialogue was under the theme ‘‘Promoting Bilateral Investment: Igniting Growth and Strengthening Economic Partnerships.”
