Mills: We are determined to enhance investment in Ghana

Accra, Nov. 3, GNA - President John Evans Atta Mills on Tuesday affirmed government's determination to work towards enhancing a favourable investment climate for the country.

He said government would work towards ensuring security and safety of investors while developing the requisite infrastructure that would make Ghana a centre piece of international investment attraction.

Interacting with a delegation of Equatorial Coca Cola Bottling Company at the Osu Castle, President Mills admitted there had been some challenges with the economy but did not feel daunted and was working towards ameliorating the situation.

He said creating an ideal investment regime for Ghana had been a concern for his administration as entrepreneurs would be key partners in creating employment and bringing in revenue that were needed for development projects.

"But at the same time, they are expected to abide by ethical standards and comply with statutory regulations governing their organisations," he said.

President Mills challenged the management of Coca Cola to expand its bottling services beyond Accra and Kumasi.

He assured them of efforts being made to bring down the rate of inflation to protect their

investments. Mr Alfonso Libano Daurella, who led the delegation said the company had more than 180 million dollars investment with many employees, thus contributing to the sustenance of

Ghana's economy.
