ADB MD urges manufacturers to leverage the current economic environment for sector growth

At ADB, we see manufacturing as a vital partner. The bank supports various sectors in manufacturing, including apparel. We also focus on the agricultural value chain, which is important to us.

As a bank promoting agribusiness, we back viable manufacturing ventures. These ventures can boost export potential and empower SMEs. We offer tailored financing solutions and technical partnerships for local industries.

Supporting agro-processing and industrial innovation is crucial. It helps reduce post-harvest losses and increases export earnings. This approach also strengthens food security.

Edward Ato Sarpong emphasized the need for collaboration. He called for partnerships with government and policymakers. Consistent investment in skills development, infrastructure, and technology is essential to unlock Ghana’s manufacturing potential.

Recently, Ghana's currency (the Cedi) has appreciated significantly. Government policies like the Big Push aim to facilitate national development. ADB plays a key role in the economic development of Ghana.
