The Ghana Exim Bank has extended help to the Ministry of Information in the implementation of one of its project dubbed Amplified.
Amplified is a social marketing project aimed at promoting business innovations and the activities of social entrepreneurs in the country.
The support by the Exim Bank is to help beneficiaries promote their products and services to larger markets.
It is also to enable young businesses navigate the exciting opportunities that exist in online business marketing and enhance their speed to gaining larger markets
“We believe that supporting this laudable project by the Ministry of Information is key to strengthening Ghana’s innovation pipeline, drive emerging businesses and over the long-term, safeguard the sustainable growth of MSMEs”, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the bank, Lawrence Agyinsam, disclosed this in an interview with journalists last Thursday.
According to Mr Agyinsam, the kind gesture is part of an overall strategy of Exim Bank Ghana to support MSMEs to eliminate barriers to global commerce.
In April, this year, the bank re-launched its Tuesday Market initiative aimed at creating awareness for Made-In-Ghana products and harness their potential for exports.
The Market serves as a one stop shop for the general public to purchase anything locally manufactured, from nicely packaged food items, cosmetic products, garments and textiles, leather products and many more.
C.E.O Agyinsam said it is all part of efforts by the bank to substantially support and promote products and services of young businesses to gain larger markets and compete in new frontiers that were previously inaccessible.
