John Agyekum Kufuor on Friday granted audience to the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of J.P. Morgan, a

good governance made it an ideal place where capital should
be flowing.
“This is a serious place to look at in terms of business,
the prospects are bright.”
He said the country wanted mutually beneficial long-term
business partnerships and encouraged the firm to make a
strong presence in the economy.
Mr Dimon said it has been the tradition of the firm to let
the people “feel better of having had us” wherever they
established.
J.P. Morgan has operations in 60 countries and is a leader
in investment banking, financial services for consumers,
small scale business and commercial banking, financial
transaction processing, assets management and private
equity.
