The Ghana Exim Bank has supported Amplified, a social marketing project of the Ministry of Information to help promote business innovations and the activities of social entrepreneurs in the country.
The support would ensure season one of the project totalling ten episodes which would help beneficiaries to promote their products and services to larger markets.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the bank, Lawrence Agyinsam who disclosed this in an interview with journalists last Thursday said the support was part of an overall strategy of Exim Bank Ghana to support MSMEs to eliminate barriers to global commerce.
“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”, he said.
He mentioned that the support would help young businesses navigate the exciting opportunities that exist in online business marketing and enhance their speed to gain larger markets.
In April this year, the bank re-launched its Tuesday Market initiative aimed at creating awareness for Made-In-Ghana products and harnessing 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.
Mr. Agyinsam said the move was 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.
