Accra, Ghana – Ghana is looking to expand its economic footprint in South America with a renewed focus on Peru. The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) recently hosted a trade and investment seminar to explore opportunities in mining, agriculture, and services between the two countries.
Peruvian Ambassador to Ghana, Rosa Liliana Gómez Cárdenas de Weston, outlined her country’s potential as an investment destination for Ghanaian businesses. She highlighted the robust mining and agricultural sectors as well as opportunities in the services industry.
Yofi Grant, CEO of the GIPC, positioned Ghana as a prime investment hub in Africa, emphasizing the country’s strategic location, political stability, and growing economy. Grant underscored Ghana’s role as a gateway to the African market, citing the upcoming African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a catalyst for economic growth.
The AfCFTA, he explained, will create the world’s largest tariff-free market, offering immense potential for investors. Grant further highlighted Ghana’s diverse investment opportunities in agriculture, mining, tourism, manufacturing, energy, real estate, and information and communication technology.
