In his speech, President Mahama underlined that despite volatile petroleum prices amidst geopolitical tensions, his government has been able to maintain macroeconomic stability. He commended the fiscal discipline and ongoing reforms for maintaining investor confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis expansion is not merely an investment in infrastructure; it is an investment in Ghana\u2019s future. By increasing domestic refining capacity, we reduce our dependence on imported petroleum products, strengthen our fuel supply chains, and retain more value within our economy.”<\/p>\nGhana President John Mahama<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Executive Chair of Sentuo, Mr XU Ningquan, lauded the President’s 24-Hour Economy policy, which has reinforced Ghana’s position as an attractive place to do business. He added that the Project will support thousands of jobs and enable Ghana to keep its foreign currency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
