<p>He continued, “Ghana is a stable democracy and a pillar of stability in the region. Your country is a Reform Partner Country and Compact with Africa Partner country for Germany. As part of these partnerships, we support your policies, Mr President for stronger economic performance, and for infrastructure development, especially in the areas of energy, health and training.”</p>

<p>Dr Muller also praised Ghana for the “important progress” in the fight against corruption, emphasising that it was a key factor in any investment decision.</p>

<p>“The most important basis for investors is legal certainty and reliable contracts. Ghana has made important progress on fighting corruption over the last years; that is very important for investors. The countries of West Africa and Ghana in particular have the potential and the will to achieve progress and reforms; we are all convinced of it. Germany’s policy makers and business community stand by you, and the visit of our President and today’s programme are proof of it.”</p>

<p>Dr Muller pledged special support for more investment in vocational training over the next few years in Ghana, with the aim of creating training spaces for at least 25,000 young persons in the next three years, saying “that is the German way to do business. Investment should not only be about money and business but also investment in the future of your youth.”</p>
