Ghana and Mauritius are set to grow bilateral trade links, Ghanaian president John Dramani Mahama said at a business meeting held in Mauritius this week.
Several avenues for investment have been identified ranging from sugar processing, textiles and finances to health services and information and communications technology.
Mahama said that Ghana had recently embarked on an ambitious, but achievable, reform programme to improve the investment climate for both local and international investors.
He further added that Ghana’s social, political and economic environment was conducive to investment growth and success.
He sees the Mauritius-Ghana partnership as advantageous for both countries. “Ghana can be used as a bridge for investment in West Africa,” he said.
The vision of the Ghanaian Government is to transform the country into the power hub of West Africa, said Mahama, adding that in the next five years an additional 3 665 MW of power will be produced.
In addition, Mahama stressed that Ghana aimed to become a more value-added and diversified economy.
In that context, several measures had been put in place, he explained. These include diversification to add value and transform the economy; increase in the GDP growth rate to 5-6%; fiscal consolidation in the next three years; stabilisation of the Ghanaian economy and facilitation of growth and job creation; control of corruption; and improvement of electricity generation.
