SWISSCHAM holds business cocktail

The Switzerland Ghana Chamber of Commerce (SWISSCHAM) last week organized a business cocktail for its members as well as presented certificates to new ones.

The occasion was used to sensitize members of the opportunities and threats that exist in Ghana’s housing industry.

The CEO of Dewegerr and Brown, Adotei Brown, advised developers and investors to consider investing in and around the beaches, adding that Ghana’s beaches are mostly left fallow. He suggested that office complex or hotels could be built along the beaches.

Brown also advised real estate developers to consider building affordable houses to address the challenges of low and middle income Ghanaians adding that if that is not done the country’s housing unit will be difficult to overcome.

Ghana is said to have a housing deficit of about 1.5 million housing units. Efforts being taken to address the deficits seems not equate the ever growing demand of Ghanaians.

The event brought together professionals from various sectors of the economy of Ghana, Singapore and Switzerland who shared their views on the country’s housing sector.

In a separate development, SWISSCHAM, will host a Swiss Ghanaian Business Week between November and December this year.

The Ghana chapter of the Swiss West Africa Chamber of Commerce (Swiss Cham Ghana) was re-launched to complement the efforts of the Embassy of Switzerland in Ghana to promote and enhance the bilateral trade between Switzerland and Ghana.
