  "account": "The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) CEO Simon Madjie has urged Qatar to invest more in Ghana's key economic sectors to bolster bilateral relations and foster sustainable growth. In an interview with Doha News, Madjie outlined various sectors where Ghana seeks Qatari investment, such as agriculture, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, financial services, tourism, and the creative arts. He emphasized that enhanced air connectivity between the two nations would facilitate business interactions, stimulate trade, and increase investment flows. Madjie, speaking at the ninth World Investment Forum 2026 in Qatar, underscored Ghana's interest in partnering with Qatar's expertise in industries like manufacturing, agro-processing, financial services, fintech, digital services, oil and gas, power generation, mining, and tourism. He also highlighted opportunities in culture and creative arts, aiming to leverage Qatar's knowledge to bolster local industries and strengthen business ties. Regarding the investment environment, Madjie stated that Ghana is striving to enhance the business climate and create an appealing atmosphere for capital inflows, offering incentives for investors operating in free zones and those related to factories, equipment, and machinery. He added that Ghana's involvement in the forum was to exhibit its investment potential and entice Qatari businesses to explore lucrative opportunities. Madjie called for greater collaboration between the public and private sectors of both nations to establish enduring partnerships that would benefit their respective interests.",
