???? Foreign investment in sub-Saharan Africa rose 13% last year to $32 billion, bucking a global downward trend and reversing two years of decline, according to a United Nations report.

???? Stanbic Ghana has expressed its continuous support to the mining sector to leverage on its skills in corporate finance, advisory, risk management and knowledge of the financial markets. The bank was of the view that the support initiative was critical because Africa was the largest producer of gold and a key driver to the country’s socio-economic development.
???? Traders at Sefwi Bibiani market in the Western North Region have expressed their disappointment at the Assembly’s inability to provide sanitary facilities, lights and other security measures to protect lives and properties in the Market.
