Professor George Gyan-Baffour, the Minister of Planning, has re-affirmed Government's commitment to utilise the strategic resources of the country to facilitate industrial transformation and stimulate socio-economic development.
He said government would continue to encourage value addition to raw materials because it is critical towards transforming the structure of the economy and urged indigenous companies to promote high product standards and quality customer service.
"Government is partnering with the private sector, which is the real engine of growth for development.
"We are of the belief that creating the regulatory, innovative and competitive environment will motivate indigenous companies and Ghanaian entrepreneurs to add more value to the existing products and services to ensure global competitiveness," the Minister said.
