The Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) responsible for Banking, Rosemary Beryl Archer has expressed excitement about the significant growth of the Tuesday Market.
According to her this growth has been significant considering where they started from some years ago.
As a testament of its determination to support Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) to scale up and run profitable ventures, the Management of GEXIM introduced Tuesday Market.

She said, from January to August, they have showcased products from over 800 SMEs.
According to her, with what she has seen over the years, it is possible that Ghanaians can produce and consume their own products without resorting to markets outside the country.
She said as an export bank, they will continue to help export some of the products to the international markets.
The Homowo Mart had over 100 SMEs exhibiting their products yesterday at the GEXIM premises and it was a delight for the Rosemary Beryl Archer and the President of the Osu Stool Council, Notse Nii Nortey Owuo IV to move round the various vendors to inspect the products on display.
After visiting all the vendors, the President of the Osu Stool Council, Notse Nii Nortey Owuo IV commended GEXIM for such an initiative and appealed for more support to enhance their capacities of young enterprising Ghanaians.
He further called for more marketing opportunities for them to position their products, this he said would ensure growth and sustainability.
Notse Nii Nortey urged Ghanaians to patronize Made In Ghana products to help make the local economy robust.
Interior décor, clothes, cosmetics, footwear, food among others that are locally produced were on display at the Tuesday Market.

After a show-stopping run on stage, Fiifi Coleman Productions is taking ‘I Told You So’ to the big screen.
This follows a successful roadshow tour across Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Cape Coast.
The final leg saw Cape Coast come alive on September 4 and 5, as Fiifi Coleman Productions staged a breathtaking rendition of the Bob Cole classic at the Centre for National Culture (CNC).
Patrons showed up in extraordinary numbers, filling the auditorium with energy, laughter, nostalgia and deep cultural pride. Over the two-night run, the production drew more than 2,000 patrons, making the showcase, dubbed The Afahye Experience, one of the most memorable highlights of the festival season.
Speaking to the media in an interview on Monday, September 7, Fiifi Coleman said the adaptation seeks to protect Ghana’s cultural heritage and history.
According to him, the storyline remains relevant in today’s society and the current generation has lessons to learn from it.
“The movie takes you through family responsibility, and who has the right in the family when it comes to marriage, the father or uncle?” he quizzed.
He noted that in recent times families often shelve the need to conduct necessary background checks before marriage, adding that ‘I Told You So’ brings all these issues to the fore.
He also revealed that the feature film would be due for premiere in March 2027 in commemoration of Ghana’s 70th independence celebrations.
The stage production delivered a seamless blend of humour, heritage and contemporary relevance, reminding patrons of the enduring power of Ghanaian theatre to unite communities and celebrate identity.
With its successful run on stage, the team is now taking a bold step to adapt it for cinema.
He expressed his appreciation to all stakeholders for their support in making the project a success.

Miss World Ghana 2026, Rumzia Sule, has returned home after representing Ghana at the Miss World 2026 pageant in Vietnam.
Rumzia arrived at the Accra International Airport on Tuesday, September 8, where she received a warm welcome from members of the Miss Ghana Organisation, her fellow queens and runners-up, family members and well-wishers.
The beauty queen was welcomed with flowers and the Ghana flag as she reunited with loved ones following her international pageant journey.
Rumzia was among 111 national ambassadors who participated in the 2026 Miss World Festival in Vietnam.
The grand finale was held on September 5 in Nha Trang, where Joheirry Mola Dominguez of the Dominican Republic was crowned Miss World 2026. Elisabeth Reynés of Spain was named first runner-up, while Taanusiya Chetty of Malaysia emerged as second runner-up.
Although Ghana did not take the overall crown, Rumzia made the country proud with her strong showing in the Beauty With a Purpose segment. Her sanitation-focused project earned her a place among the Top 6 African finalists in the segment.
Her project has focused on promoting sanitation and encouraging Ghanaians to take responsibility for keeping their communities clean. As part of the project, she joined the President’s clean-up campaign and collaborated with the “Bus Stop Boys” to clean some principal streets in Accra.
She also donated GH¢10,000 to the Bus Stop Boys to support their sanitation efforts as well as victims of the Accra floods in June 2026.
Later in the year, Rumzia is expected to extend the campaign to schools, where she will engage children on the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
Rumzia earned the opportunity to represent Ghana internationally after winning the 69th Miss Ghana pageant in July 2026. The competition was held under the theme: ‘Empowering Women, Enduring Legacy.’
