President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized that African leaders have the potential to unlock a $3.4 trillion market through strategic investments in infrastructure.
Speaking on the third day of the African Prosperity Dialogues, themed “Delivering Africa’s Single Market Through Infrastructure: Invest, Connect, and Integrate,” Mahama highlighted the vital role infrastructure plays in fostering economic growth, job creation, and opportunities for Africa’s youth.
He stressed the importance of developing robust transport and digital networks to facilitate intra-African trade.
“We must invest in infrastructure to facilitate trade, efficient road networks, ports, and digital connectivity. We must strengthen African supply chains to ensure that our industries produce goods and services that meet both regional and global standards,” Mahama stated.
Meanwhile, Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, President of the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), commended Ghana’s 24-hour economy initiative and assured the bank’s commitment to supporting its success.
“Ghana’s 24-hour vision is an inspiration to the entire continent, showing that with bold leadership, innovation, and investment, we can unlock Africa’s full economic potential. At BADEA, we are committed to being a strategic partner,” he affirmed.
