The Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) has signalled its intent to redefine its role in strengthening Ghana’s trade, import, and export sectors as it celebrates a decade of operations with the launch of its 10th Anniversary International Conference.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Sylvester Adinam Mensah, Chief Executive of GEXIM, reflected on the bank’s journey since its establishment in 2016, highlighting its ongoing mandate to expand Ghana’s productive capacity, support export trade, and drive industrial growth.
“Reaching ten years as an institution is significant, but even more important is the purpose that has guided our journey and what lies ahead,” he said.
The conference, themed “A Decade of Enabling Trade and Industrial Transformation: Resetting GEXIM for the Next Frontier,” provides a platform to review progress, share ideas, and chart the future of the bank’s operations.
Mr. Mensah emphasised that the event is not only a celebration but also an opportunity to shape the next chapter of GEXIM’s work. “I hope our discussions will be forward-looking, practical, and focused on strengthening partnerships and ideas that will guide the next phase of GEXIM’s mission,” he said.
He underscored the importance of collaboration with national and regional stakeholders to advance Ghana’s trade and industrial sectors, welcoming participants as key contributors to strategic initiatives that will enhance the country’s competitiveness in international markets.
The two-day conference brings together trade and industry experts, business leaders, and government officials, including Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, who is expected to highlight government support for Ghana’s export and industrialisation agenda.
Looking ahead, GEXIM plans to leverage innovative solutions, partnerships, and policy alignment to propel Ghana’s trade and industrial transformation in the next decade, Mr. Mensah noted.
