Second Business Roundtable with the Government of Ghana

Ghana's new government faces severe challenges in the immediate future. After several years of significant foreign investment, businesses are revising their plans as the global recession hits the country's economy. How does the government plan to lessen the effects of the downturn? Is the oil discovery a curse or a blessing? How will this affect your business?
During the debates, moderated by experts from the Economist Intelligence Unit, you will have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas as well as ask officials any questions. You will also have the chance to discuss strategies in the downturn with other business leaders. Confirmed Government and corporate speakers booked for the event include:
