At a stakeholders’ sensitization program for the SME Growth and Opportunity (SME GO) program, Mr. Benjamin Torsah-Klu, Chief Economic Officer at the Ministry of Finance, represented the Finance Minister, Honorable Muhammad Amin Adam. Apexnewsgh reports
He emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as the backbone of Ghana’s economy.
Mr. Torsah-Klu praised President Akufo-Addo’s visionary leadership in initiating the SME GO program, aimed at deepening Ghana’s economic transformation agenda.
He highlighted the importance of collective responsibility in ensuring the success of SMEs, citing data that shows their crucial role in driving economic growth, innovation, and job creation.
