The Managing Director of the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) PLC, Edward Ato Sarpong, has expressed excitement about the Kwahu Business Forum, stating that such a key platform can empower micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and facilitate economic growth.
Speaking on the Bank’s participation at the forum, he emphasised that the Kwahu Business Forum was a critical enabler that will bring together businesses and financiers to deliberate and chart a common path towards creating wealth and enhancing national development.
He indicated that as a development-oriented bank, ADB’s participation at the forum underscores its commitment to supporting Ghana’s business ecosystem.
“Our participation in the Kwaku Business Forum is in line with the Bank’s unwavering commitment to supporting entrepreneurship, MSMEs, and corporations for socio-economic development,” the MD said.
Sarpong noted that business growth is fueled by access to capital and that ADB offers a range of financing options, such as term loans, lines of credit, and bank guarantees, that best serve the needs of all customer segments.
“By making capital accessible, entrepreneurs can turn their innovative ideas into reality to drive economic growth, and ADB is ready to support viable businesses in this regard,” he stated.
The Managing Director urges all participating businesses to engage the ADB representatives at the forum for all their banking needs, be it corporate banking, trade finance, electronic banking, SME banking, agribusiness, asset finance, retail banking, or consumer finance.
He reiterated the enduring capacity of ADB to provide tailor-made financial solutions for all.
