He further indicated that the government will rekindle the garment and textile industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are bringing back the garment and textile industry, creating Ghana as a pharmaceutical hub particularly to exploit the African market and many other things which then provides the basis for us to take trade facilitation seriously,\u201d he stated<\/p>\n<p>Without hesitation, the minister revealed government\u2019s intention to establish industrial parks in each of the ten regions, citing that as a reason for the progress made in China and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana has been working on the National Single Window for some time and the minister believes it has come a time where it should be elevated to another level by making it a national priority.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZUD4FBI7Q4s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 41 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Tuesday, 9 May 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-05-09 play videoTrade and Industry Minister, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen &#13; Trade and Industry Minister, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen has said that aside the one district one factory, the government is looking forward to establishing a new vehicle assembly and automotive industry.
