Speaking at the Ghana-China Business Summit in Accra, Exim Bank CEO Sylvester Mensah emphasized the need for targeted investment to bridge the financing gap faced by local SMEs.
“I wish to focus on an area ripe for deepened collaboration,” Mensah stated. “We welcome partnerships with Chinese financial institutions, state-owned enterprises, and private investors. Co-financing, credit lines, and technology transfer initiatives are essential for scaling production and improving Ghana’s competitiveness.”
He highlighted opportunities for joint ventures that can help enhance local manufacturing, packaging, and processing to meet global standards.
The call aligns with Ghana’s broader export-led development strategy and underscores Exim Bank’s role in promoting cross-border partnerships.
The ongoing Ghana-China Business Summit, themed “Synergising Opportunities: Strengthening the Ghana-China Relationship and Fostering a 24-Hour Economy,” began on June 23 and continues until June 27, 2025.
