In his opening presentation, Nana Osei Bonsu the CEO of the Private Enterprise Federation (PEF), entreated Government to embark on a process to disseminate more information about AfCFTA to the Ghanaian business community who have to prepare themselves for an onslaught of competition from other African countries.

During the panel discussion, the GGEA President, entreated Ghana as headquarters of the AfCFTA, to emulate the steps that Brussels, the headquarters of the EU, has taken to attract multinational companies to Brussels. These steps should be grounded and anchored on a regime of anti-corruption agenda.
