The Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) has officially launched activities marking its 10th anniversary, positioning the milestone as both a moment of reflection and a strategic reset for the country\u2019s export-led growth and industrial transformation.<\/p>\n

At a press launch in Accra on Wednesday, January 14, the Board Chairman of GEXIM, Dr Joseph Nyarkotei Dorh, described the decade-old institution as a \u201cstrategic enabler\u201d that has helped strengthen value chains and improve Ghana\u2019s participation in regional and global trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cTen years is a meaningful chapter\u2014but it is not the full story,\u201d the Board Chairman said. \u201cThe next decade will be defined by how boldly we collaborate, how intelligently we innovate, and how consistently we invest in Ghanaian enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that the GEXIM@10 anniversary conference would be deliberately inclusive and action-oriented, bringing together EXIM banks, export credit agencies, development finance institutions, government ministries, commercial banks, diplomatic missions, and GEXIM-funded businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will not be a closed-door event,\u201d he emphasised. \u201cIt is designed to convene the full export ecosystem and produce practical recommendations that move Ghana\u2019s export agenda forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, Ghana\u2019s next phase of economic development will depend largely on its ability to earn more from what it produces, add value before exporting, and build resilient, competitive industries. \u201cExport finance is not merely about funding transactions; it is about enabling transformation,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

He added that 2026 marks a critical turning point for the bank, as the implementation of its five-year strategic plan begins in earnest. \u201cWe invite the media and all stakeholders on this journey to help project the Ghana story and deepen the penetration of made-in-Ghana goods,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Chief Executive Officer of GEXIM, Sylvester A. Mensah said the anniversary would be marked with a year-long programme of activities, including the AGROTECH Fair 2026, which will showcase locally manufactured agricultural machinery, agro-processing equipment, and industrial technologies, alongside corporate social responsibility initiatives and an international conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cTen years ago, GEXIM was established with a clear mandate: to help Ghana move from exporting raw materials to exporting more value-added products,\u201d he said. \u201cOver the past decade, we have translated that mandate into practical support through financing, guarantees, and technical assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that export growth must be approached as a system rather than a slogan. \u201cIt requires patient capital, effective risk-mitigation tools, market intelligence, and institutions that can align incentives from farm gate to factory and from factory to global markets,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

As part of the anniversary, GEXIM will host its 10th Anniversary International Conference from 25 to 26 March 2026 at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra, under the theme \u201cA Decade of Enabling Export Trade and Industrial Transformation: Resetting GEXIM for the Next Frontier.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis conference is both a reflection and a reset,\u201d the CEO said. \u201cIt acknowledges the progress made, but also recognises that the next decade will demand greater agility, deeper partnerships, and smarter financial instruments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference will focus on global shifts in export finance, blended finance models, improved access to finance for MSMEs, and priority value chains, including garments and apparel, poultry, rice, and oil palm. Sessions will also explore the use of artificial intelligence and digital tools in export finance.<\/p>\n

The launch formally signals the beginning of GEXIM\u2019s 10th anniversary celebrations, with the bank reaffirming its commitment to deepening Ghana\u2019s export base and advancing industrial transformation over the next decade.<\/p>\n
