Sylvester Mensah, acting chief executive of the Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM), recently reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to supporting the country’s textile and apparel industry in line with the government’s 24-hour economy policy aimed at job creation and economic growth.

Mensah said this while accompanying minister of trade, agribusiness and industry Elizabeth Ofosu Adjare on a visit to the manufacturing units of Dignity DTRT Limited and Tex Styles Ghana Ltd in Accra and Tema respectively.

Adjare reiterated the government’s commitment to collaborating with the private sector to drive industrialisation and enhance exports. She assured stakeholders of the government’s efforts to create a business-friendly environment that encourages industries, according to domestic media reports.

“We are willing to assist the garment sector as much as we can to enable them to create the needed jobs and to export. We commend your efforts and will support you in replicating this business model in other regions to generate more employment,” she said.

Prior to the working tour, Adjare and GEXIM’s management held a meeting with key industry players in Accra to discuss strategies to enhance the sector’s contribution to job creation and economic growth.
