Ghana EXIM Bank Empowers SMEs for Global Market Success

Ghana EXIM Bank CEO Sylvester Mensah spoke about the bank's commitment to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. The bank aims to help SMEs meet international export standards and expand into global markets. "We are especially focused on enabling SMEs and youth-led businesses to scale production and meet export standards," Mensah stated. The bank is investing in agro-processing and cold chain logistics to reduce post-harvest losses and improve value addition. Ghana's horticultural exports, including pineapples, mangoes, and chilies, are gaining global recognition, thanks in part to the EXIM Bank's efforts. Recent international trade missions, such as participation in Fruit Logistica, demonstrate the growing credibility and competitiveness of Ghanaian exporters. This initiative is a significant step towards boosting Ghana's economy and creating opportunities for its entrepreneurs.
