The Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) is deepening its collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to champion the Government of Ghana’s industrialization agenda by promoting and creating market access for Made-In-Ghana products and services globally.
The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GEXIM, responsible for Banking, Rosemary Beryl Archer, has therefore led a team from the bank to present assorted Made-In-Ghana products of their clients and other Ghanaian entrepreneurs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, the Deputy Minister of Foreign of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in charge of Political and Economic matters and Member of Parliament for Asante Mampong, welcomed the GEXIM team to the ministry and received the items on behalf of the Minster.
The presentation follows a similar one by the Bank in March 2022 on the occasion of Ghana's 65th independence anniversary celebration. The bank presented Made-In-Ghana products which were distributed to selected Ghanaian missions abroad for promotion and to explore avenues for improved packaging and state of the art equipment to support Ghana’s industrialization agenda.
The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GEXIM highlighted the importance of Ghanaian missions around the world and their pivotal role in assisting to increase Ghanaian exports globally, promoting trade and commerce as well as attracting investment for Ghanaian businesses and their products.
“It is important to deepen our existing cordial relations and we are here today to present these uniquely packaged and innovative Made-In-Ghana products to be sent to the Ghanaian missions. We believe a strategic collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has a potential to unlock unending opportunities for Ghanaian businesses and lead to economic growth. We are happy to work with the Ministry to replicate around the world various forms of our GEXIM MIG Town, a one stop shop for everything Made-In-Ghana products”, she emphasised.
On his part, Mr. Ampratwum-Sarpong expressed his delight about the innovation employed by the Ghanaian entrepreneurs in packaging their products to meet international standards. He further lauded GEXIM for investing in Ghanaian businesses and its campaign in driving awareness for the patronage of Made-In-Ghana products globally which he indicated will be of economic benefit to the country.
“It feels good to see these products and more importantly, knowing these are produced in Ghana, it brings me a lot of joy. It is such an important time to be driving such a campaign to help sustain local businesses and be able to trade favorably in the international marketplace. We believe economic diplomacy is very key for our country at the moment and we urge all key stakeholders to help with this agenda to achieve an industrialized Ghana”, he added.
Some of the very unique, and authentic Made-In-Ghana products presented to the Ministry include food and ingredients, beverages, skin and beauty care products, textiles, apparel, garments, leather footwear, slippers, and many others.
