A detailed list of multinational companies in Ghana 2022
Multinational companies in Ghana enhance the country's economic growth. Ghana has enough resources for local and foreign investors to exploit. Several local firms have grown into multinational companies. However, most potential local investors face financial challenges that hinder them from investing extensively, unlike external investors. As a local investor, do not worry about competition from foreign companies because the government's strict laws and strategies regulate both parties' activities and promote fair competition.
