GEXIM officials with officials of the Danish Embassy
A team from the Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM), led by the Acting Chief Executive, Hon. Sylvester Mensah, met with officials of the Danish Embassy in Ghana on Wednesday, 12th February 2025. The meeting, held at the embassy in Accra, was led on the Danish side by the Head of Mission, His Excellency Tom Nørring.
The engagement provided GEXIM’s management with an opportunity to offer deeper insights into the Bank’s operations and mandate, while also exploring potential areas of mutual interest for collaboration with the embassy and other key Danish public and private sector stakeholders.
Hon. Sylvester Mensah highlighted the Bank’s vision of becoming a strong financial institution that drives Ghana’s export trade, facilitates cross-border commerce, and positions the country as a key player in regional and continental trade. He added that the Bank is committed to advancing the government’s policy priorities in areas such as accelerated export growth, increased food production, agribusiness support, and job creation.
He further emphasized the Bank’s priority focus on the garment sub-sector as a means of generating mass employment within a relatively short period. He identified this as a key area for potential partnership, collaboration, and funding for onward lending.
For his part, His Excellency Nørring expressed his appreciation to the Chief Executive and his team for the opportunity to explore avenues for collaboration between the embassy, Danish institutions, and Ghanaian businesses. He expressed optimism about the prospects for strong partnerships across various sectors. Several “next steps” were agreed upon for immediate follow-up.
Other members of the GEXIM team present at the meeting included Mr. Moses Klu Mensah, Deputy Chief Executive Officer responsible for Banking and Business Operations, and Mr. Jonathan Christopher Koney, Manager for International Cooperation.
