The securities industry in Ghana continues to play a major role in securing long term capital for national development and is positioning itself towards charting a sustainable strategic focus going forward. Our doors are therefore open to institutions who are strategically positioned to add value to the development process through public education on the financial market including summits and conferences. Mr. Adu .A. Antwi, the Director General for the Securities and Exchange Commission made this statement during a courtesy call paid on him by two partners of Africonomie, Martin Ofori and Kojo Yankah to brief him on events in the run up to the Ghana Pensions and Sovereign Funds Investment Forum which comes off from 4 � 6 June 2014 at the M�venpick Ambassador Hotel. He highlighted significant prospects for the Investment Banking space and the economy at large. Mr. Antwi added that the uniqueness of the forum organized by Africonomie can be seen in its intended focus on practicability of the application of policies in optimizing the growth of the industry as well as creating the right linkages to a diverse investor community abroad. He therefore called on all the players in the pensions, securities and investment community to fully participate in this forum in order to derive the full benefits. Thanking him, Martin Ofori who doubles as C.E.O of Crystal Capital and Investments Ltd indicated that the investment banking space has become a very important segment of the financial system and requires a great deal of attention to serve its proper role as a catalyst to national development. Mr. Kojo Yankah also reiterated that the Ghana forum opens a great door to participants for the greater London and Dubai events later this year.
