Determined to see African economic potentials realised, BusinessDay, the leading business voice in West Africa, has formally established its footprint in Ghana, an economy primed for growth.
BusinessDay, a high quality business newspaper will be offering core business news and financial intelligence in the Ghana market.
The paper will be presented this morning at the second edition of the Ghana Economic Outlook and Business Strategy Conference in Accra, where the country’s president, John Dramani Mahama is expected to be present. The forum aims to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to boost the country’s economy.
BusinessDay Ghana will be presented to the audience comprising local and international businessmen and women, top government functionaries and members of the diplomatic corps.
Also expected at the forum are ministers and heads of state institutions, captains of industry, heads of bilateral and multilateral support agencies, foreign and local investors, heads of civil society organisations, members of the diplomatic corps, players within the financial industry in Ghana, and the media.
The event is organised by Africa Business Media, publishers of the Ghana Business & Finance magazine, and BusinessDay Media Limited, publishers of BusinessDay Nigeria, in partnership with the Ministry of Trade.
With the berthing in Ghana, BusinessDay promises to provide the Ghanaian stakeholders and the business community with rich business content by the best Ghanaian economic journalists and analysts.
“Some of our offering shall include some of the best contents from across the world that would help our readers to understand the pulse of Ghana economy and help businesses to do business better through intelligence which we will provide across different platforms,” BusinessDay said.
The newspaper further said the Ghanaian audience will be served with local business and economic news, rich features, as well as global contents from The Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, Reuters, The Economist, among others, as a move to provide one-stop shop information to corporate decision-makers and policymakers.
The publication of BusinessDay Ghana follows a business combination that involves two Ghanaian media institutions, LIZIDEL Company Limited (publishers of Economic Tribune Newspaper) and African Business Media (publishers of Ghana Business & Finance Magazine).
This business combination is expected to change the face of business and financial journalism in Ghana and produce a paper that would offer readers value for their money.
After the presentation today, BusinessDay Ghana would hit newsstands with interesting stories every Monday for some months, and will subsequently become a daily paper.
