He opined that a partnership between businesses in Ghana and Indonesian investors would translate into job creation, economic growth and improve the country’s Gross domestic product (GDP).
“There are opportunities in the tourism, agribusiness, mining, pharmaceutical, real estate, oil and gas, among others, which Ghanaians can take advantage of”, he said when speaking at a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the National Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Mark Badu-Aboagye.

The Chief Executive Officer of the National Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Mark Badu-Aboagye acknowledged that a Ghana-Indonesian partnership would be of immense benefit to both countries.
He agreed to discuss the opportunity with the regional and sectorial heads and device modalities on how the Ghanaian business class could take advantage of the opportunities.
Mark Badu-Aboagye further extended an invitation to Indonesian investors to participate in the upcoming National Trade Fair, where thousands of products and services would be displayed.
