I look forward to working with its team on the ground as they begin the next phase of their research at what is expected to be a pivotal time for Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Welcoming AGI on board, OBG\u2019s Regional Editor for Africa, Souhir Mzali said news that the IMF would be disbursing the last tranche of the Extended Credit Facility awarded to Ghana after carrying out the seventh and eighth reviews should support the country\u2019s efforts to attract new investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that Ghana\u2019s latest eurobond issuance was heavily oversubscribed indicates that investor confidence is already increasing, while recognition from the IMF that difficult reforms have been implemented and significant macro-economic gains achieved should help to further boost inflows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Association of Ghana Industries represents well over 1000 enterprises of varying sizes operating locally from across the economic sectors. I\u2019m thrilled that our researchers and ultimately our readers will once again benefit from its understanding and local knowledge of Ghana\u2019s business scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OBG\u2019s report will also consider the steps that Ghana is taking to address the challenges it faces, which range from high levels of public debt to a falling cedi that remains problematic for importers.<\/p>\n<p>Other topics earmarked for coverage include; the impact that the African Continental Free Trade Agreement is expected to have across the region on cross-border trade flows.<\/p>\n<p>The Report: Ghana 2020 will mark the culmination of more than 12 months of field research by a team of analysts from Oxford Business Group. It will be a vital guide to the many facets of the country, including its macro-economics, infrastructure, banking and other sectoral developments.<\/p>\n<p>The publication will also contain contributions from leading personalities and will be produced with the AGI, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, PwC and Stanlib and be available online and in print.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Tuesday, 30 April 2019 Source: Ghananewsagency.org 2019-04-30 CEO, AGI &#8211; Seth Twum-Akwaboah The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Oxford Business Group (OBG0 for its forthcoming publication.
