Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have consistently proven to be the backbone of every economy, contributing approximately 70% to national GDP.
In Ghana, SMEs represent around 80% of the workforce, breaking barriers and transforming the landscape of production and manufacturing.
On today’s episode of BizTech, hosted by Sisl Prempeh, Founder of the All People’s Congress (APC) and businessman Hassan Ayariga shares his insights on the importance of fully financing SMEs through adequate funding, regulatory reforms, and technical support.
Speaking with Sisl Prempeh, Ayariga emphasised the need for financial institutions to provide substantial support and financing initiatives tailored to young entrepreneurs.
He further stressed that the time has come for the government to develop a comprehensive funding catalogue to assist SMEs.
Addressing the recent imposition of a 10% U.S. import tariff, Ayariga called for increased investment in local production to strengthen Ghana’s industries.
