'Stability, credibility and predictability are Ghana's competitive advantage' - Ambassador Victor Smith
Victor Emmanuel Smith, Ghana's Ambassador to the United States, highlighted stability, credibility and predictability as Ghana's strongest advantages in attracting global investment and deepening economic cooperation with the United States while speaking at a high-level Economic Dialogue in Atlanta. He stressed Ghana's commitment to sustainable partnerships capable of driving industrial transformation and inclusive economic growth. He stated, "Atlanta's world-class aviation and logistics ecosystem aligns naturally with Ghana's ambition to become the preferred aviation and transportation hub of West Africa."
The dialogue also focused on the role of the Ghanaian diaspora in national development. According to Ambassador Smith, diaspora communities possess a unique understanding of both Ghanaian and American systems and can help bridge investment, innovation and cultural cooperation between the two countries. He said, "Diasporas understand both systems. They understand Ghana and they understand America. They can therefore serve as bridges of trust, culture, investment and innovation."
Jacques Nack Ngue, founder of JNN Group Inc. and General Partner of the African Diaspora Venture Fund, announced a $40 million investment initiative targeting sectors such as fintech, agriculture and workforce development in Africa, beginning with Ghana. Nana Brew-Butler, from Cen Power Generation Company, outlined opportunities within Ghana's energy sector, noting that the company currently contributes about 12% of Ghana's dependable power supply and serves more than one million households nationwide.
