“The Ghana Club 100 Awards” instituted in 1998, is an annual event to celebrate the top 100 companies in various sectors of the country’s economy.
The event was organised by the Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC) on the theme: “Public Private Partnership –Ensuring Effective Domestic Entrepreneurs Participation in Ghana’s Investment Development’.
This year’s awards were ranked, based on three factors of the competing companies, such as size, return on equity and growth.
Dr Ishmael Yamson, Board Chairman of GIPC said the theme was timely because it encouraged public/private participation in ensuring ways of developing effective investment in the country for national development.
He said the GIPC is not only for foreign investors but also for the local industry and advised Ghanaian investors to take advantage of the opportunity to register with the centre for optimum benefits.
“The Report: Ghana 2012”, a comprehensive annual economic analysis of the domestic economy published by the Oxford Business Group (OBG) was launched at the event.
The Report sought to provide a holistic assessment of current trends and issues in some of the country’s biggest Gross Domestic Product contributors including the mining, agriculture, energy, banking, industry and transport sectors.
Dr Yamson said the publication also includes extensive coverage of some of the more recent developments in the country’s nascent gas sector and reviews the plans of putting in place the infrastructure to process the country’s associated deposits.
