PRESIDENT NANA Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Wednesday told the plenary session of the 7th<\/sup> Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) that Ghana\u2019s economy was on course with the introduction of strategic programmes initiated by his administration.<\/p>\n

He said the New
\nPatriotic Party (NPP) administration was able to achieve such feat in less than
\nthree years after it took over power from the previous administration.<\/p>\n

The President
\nsaid Ghana was taking a cue from what transpired between 1965 and 1990 when the
\nEast Asian Miracle happened in some 23 East Asian countries, largely on their
\npromotion of the private sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, in Ghana,
\nare taking steps to put our country onto a similar path. Maintaining a stable
\nmacro-economy is fundamental to attracting private sector investment,\u201d he
\nemphasised adding that government was committed to pampering the private sector
\nto lead in the creation of jobs and economic freedom.<\/p>\n

President
\nAkufo-Addo noted that government had been able to implement tax cuts and
\nincentives to spur the speedy development of Ghana\u2019s private sector.<\/p>\n

The IMF has
\nforecast that Ghana\u2019s economy will grow fastest in the world for 2019.<\/p>\n

The President
\nstressed that had led, in his time as President, \u201cto some of the world\u2019s
\nlargest vehicle manufacturing companies signaling their intention to set up
\nassembly plants in the country, with global energy giants investing in the
\ndevelopment of our considerable oil and gas deposits, and the establishment of
\nthe first Artificial Intelligence Centre in Africa by Google in Ghana. Their
\ndecision to operate in Ghana is for good reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that his
\nadministration was, among other things, taking advantage of technology to
\nintroduce reforms aimed at improving regulatory processes, digitizing a lot of
\ntransactions to make life easy for Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are embracing
\nfully the advancements made in the digital world to help drive growth and
\nincrease productivity of our economy. It is time we also traded in the world
\neconomy, not only on the basis of exports of raw materials, but also on the basis
\nof things we make and grow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Courtesy call<\/strong><\/p>\n

At an earlier
\nengagement, Pravind Jugnauth, Prime Minister of Mauritius, paid a courtesy call
\non President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

The two leaders
\ndiscussed holding the next session of the Permanent Joint Commission for
\nCo-operation (PJCC), which offers the legal framework for addressing the trade
\nand investment concerns of Ghana and Mauritius.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
