Gov’t ensuring foreign companies do not take over the entire economy– Ofori-Atta

“The whole issues of the fight for utilization and skills is also meant to increase productivity which will then help employers to be able to afford to pay more decent wages. I think we just need to continue to introduce technology for that.

“On the issue of protecting Ghanaians from foreign companies’ abuse. I think that that is really an issue of administrative vigilance and we all can strengthen our SMEs, captains of industry so that they can stand to negotiate properly so we don’t wake up  in the next ten or twenty years and everything is owned by foreigners.

“That has to be deliberate,” he said.

Mr Ofori Atta further assured that the Akufo-Addo administration is tackling the debt situation of the country.

In nominal terms, he said, Ghana’s debt stands at “GHS291billion representing 76.66 per cent of GDP.”
