Ghana seeks more concessionary loans

The Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Haruna Iddrisu, has said the government is seeking for more concessionary loans to finance some key projects in the country.

The projects include infrastructure-energy, construction of health facilities in the Western and Central regions, building of commercial markets, reconstruction of the Ghana Trade Fair Centre, road construction in the Western and Eastern corridors, industrial zones (parks).

The minister, who said this in an interaction with a number of business groups and companies in Turkey during his recent visit to that country added that the government would also welcome

Public, Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement to execute those projects since that formed part of the key policies of the government to get projects done faster.

The Trade and Industry Minister was in Turkey as the leader of a delegation in a follow up on President John Mahama’s visit to that country early this year. GB
