  If foreigners are stopped from retail business in all the countries Ghanaians travel to, how will you survive in those countries?

  Here they come again, evil Ghanaians will always complain. They're not competitive and has no business acumen. Ghanaian business men always want to cheat their fellow Ghanaians by over charging and inflating prices. This is vey typical of greedy Ashantis. These creatures eat grass-cutter shit. That's why Ghana is like this.

  If am correct a minimum capital of 1m ghc is the threshold requirement needed by non Gh interested in retailing so in order to prove that laws are in facts been Flown the Union must provide evidence that indeed those been accused don't meet the threshold requirement the burden of proof is on the union I've advice the procurement of a legal team by the Union until then like someone already said all you can do is talk Gh business men and women are usually the pillar of our society and their losing of ground should be a concern they might not be articulating the concerns accurately am sure and I also can't give them that free advice as I would be doing a disfavor to consultants specialized in trade the little I can say though is that this is the last face in the next 10 to 20 years it will be difficult to find a Gh retailer with 10 employees let us not also forget that the sector serves as a form of career path to our youth who for one reason or the other couldn't continue with schooling it's really sad to say but a rough translation of a vanscular means a fish rots from the head

  Ato competition as you said is good for the consumer who benefits from lower prices of goods and services a couple of months ago the British voted to exit from the EU and one of the reasons is foreigners who they blame for taking their jobs driving wages downwards and burdening social services American conservatives just elected someone who has promise to be tough on immigrants and I don't know if you remember the xenophobic attact in SA not long ago so this is not a Gh problem alone what the traders I assume are complaining about is a form of trading strategy companies who wish to edge out competitors adopt by offering products sometimes at cost or below cost to attract your customers once this is achieved then a correction takes place its a long term strategy the technical term is dumping even the west have lost their manufacturing capabilities due to this trade practice it started when companies moved their manufacturing operations to Far East countries to take advantage of low wages now take a look at the Ghanaian trader cost of credit is very high compounded with their inability to raise capital overseas cost of leasing space is high poor utility services and they also have to compete against each other the high price you're accusing them of is due to the high cost of operations it's my hope that we won't wake up too late like the west that once you lose a sector it's not coming back
