“What we want is an investment in Ghanaian economy thus the roadshow to reassure our investors and to encourage more investment in Ghana,” the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank said.
So far there has been a roadshow in London in the United Kingdom, Washington DC, New York and Boston in the U. S.
According to Dr Bawumia, their goal is for the non-deal`; roadshow is for investors to know that the country is open for business and “we are ready to welcome them.”
