Ghana Economic Forum 2017 has seen the banking sector express interest in seeing government\u2019s drive to create jobs in the private sector become a reality.<\/p>\n

The Forum, which brings on board industry players and banking experts, also saw government engage the private sector on practicable ways of meeting its macro-economic targets by the end of year.<\/p>\n

Senior minister, Yaw Osafo Maafo said government is intensifying its strategy to make private sector more competitive to ensure the creation of jobs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer of the B&FT, Edith Dankwa said, \u201cGhana is one of the world\u2019s most attractive investment destinations after more than a decade of substantial economic progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cThe country is endowed with a new breed of dynamic entrepreneurs complementing the decades of hard work by seasoned entrepreneurs. Ghanaian businesses are now poised to own the country\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Ekow Spio Garbrah lamented the burgeoning debt stock of the country.<\/p>\n

He posits that government\u2019s resolve to reduce the budget deficit can be achieved if it cuts down on public spending.<\/p>\n

The two-day forum, organised by the Business and Financial Times (B&FT), in partnership with the Ghana News Agency, and other corporate organisations, has been officially endorsed by the Government as part of Ghana\u2019s 60th Independence celebrations.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, the Ghana Economic Forum has rallied some of the country\u2019s most remarkable minds to discuss, debate and gain insights needed to advance the economy of Ghana.<\/p>\n

The Sixth Edition of the Ghana Economic Forum (GEF) opened for more than 500 local and international business leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
