President Nana Akufo-Addo wants the newly launched Kumasi City Mall to be much more than a hub only for the sale of imported\u00a0products.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cit would be truly commendable if by the end of the first year of its operation, at least 20% of the goods that are sold here should be of Ghanaian origin, and the percentages increase as Ghanaian industrial production rapidly expands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking at the official launch of the Kumasi City Mall on Wednesday, President Akufo-Addo bemoaned the fact that Ghana continued to be a retailer of cheap imported goods.<\/p>\n
