The Managing Director of the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) PLC, Edward Ato Sarpong, has expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming Kwahu Business Forum, highlighting its potential to empower micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and facilitate economic growth. Speaking on the Bank’s participation at the forum, Mr. Sarpong emphasized that the event will bring together businesses and financiers to chart a common path towards creating wealth and enhancing national development.
As a development-oriented bank, ADB’s participation underscores its commitment to supporting Ghana’s business ecosystem. “Our participation in the Kwahu Business Forum is in line with the Bank’s unwavering commitment to supporting entrepreneurship, MSMEs, and corporations for socio-economic development,” the MD said. He noted that business growth is fueled by access to capital and that ADB offers a range of financing options tailored to meet 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,” Mr. Sarpong stated. He urged participating businesses to engage with ADB representatives at the forum for all their banking needs, including corporate banking, trade finance, electronic banking, SME banking, agribusiness, asset finance, retail banking, or consumer finance.
The Kwahu Business Forum is scheduled to take place on April 19, 2025, at Mpraeso in the Eastern Region, bringing together MSMEs, investors, financial institutions, and industry players to network, share ideas, and promote investments. The forum aligns with the government’s agenda to stimulate private sector development through enterprise-driven solutions.
