The European Commission Vice-President in charge of Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, Jyrki Tapani Katainen, says a number of companies within the European Union are seeking to invest in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, he said Ghana\u2019s stable microeconomic environment has strengthened the country\u2019s reputation in the eyes of international agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana has been growing steadily especially this new approach. \u2018Ghana Beyond Aid\u2019 is a very attractive and interesting area of cooperation between EU and Ghana. Ghana has managed to stabilize the microeconomic environment, and this has strengthened positive reputation, now investors are looking at Ghana as a potential investment hub,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo since assuming office has reiterated his resolve to grow the country\u2019s economy from one of dependence on foreign aid to independence and ensuring its development using local resources.<\/p>\n

\u2018Insecurity is poison for economic development\u2019<\/strong>
Jyrki Katainen also expressed worry over the many security challenges in West Africa saying it has been a great source of concern for the EU\u2019s investments in the sub-region.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity issues are problems for the local people but they can create serious obstacles for international investors,\u201d Katainen said.<\/p>\n

He stressed that security challenges and threats spilling over beyond national borders was also another concern for the EU as it negatively affected economic development.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity issues in one African country usually go across borders and will start destabilizing the other countries so instability is poison for economic development and as there is an increasing number of countries investing in African countries, it\u2019s becoming a topical issue,\u201d\u00a0Katainen added.<\/p>\n
