A team from the Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) led by the Acting Chief Executive, Sylvester Mensah, on Wednesday February 12, 2025 met officials of the Danish Embassy in Ghana, led by the Head of Mission, His Excellency Tom Nørring at the embassy in Accra.  

The meeting afforded the management of the Bank the opportunity to provide a deeper insight into the operations and mandate of the Bank as well as explore possible areas of mutual interest for collaboration with the embassy and other key Danish public and private sector players.

Sylvester Mensah highlighted the vision of the Bank to become a strong financial institution that will be a key engine in the development of Ghana’s export trade, facilitate cross border trade and make Ghana a pillar in regional and continental trade.

 He added that the Bank is seeking to advance the policy priorities of the government in the areas of accelerated export trade, increased food production, support agribusiness and to generate growth in job opportunities.

He further emphasized a priority focus on the garment sub-sector for mass employment at a relatively short time as an area for partnership, collaboration and funding for onward lending.  

On his part, His Excellency Nørring expressed his appreciation to the Chief Executive and his team for the opportunity to explore avenues of working with the embassy as well as Danish institutions for the benefit of Ghanaian and Danish businesses.

He expressed his optimism of a great collaboration across various sectors. Some “next steps” were agreed upon for immediate follow-up.

Other members of the GEXIM team were Mr. Moses Klu Mensah, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, responsible for Banking and Business Operations and Mr. Jonathan Christopher Koney, Manager, International Cooperation.
