Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has held a strategic meeting with a delegation from ABSA Bank Ghana to discuss the bank’s renewed commitment to inclusivity, SME development, agribusiness, and support for women-led enterprises.
Welcoming the ABSA team, the Vice President commended the bank for its deliberate focus on empowering women, particularly within the agribusiness value chain. She highlighted the critical role of women in agro-processing — including those producing oils and other essential products in local communities — and encouraged the bank to expand targeted support to help them modernize their operations.
According to her, strengthening financial and technical assistance for these women will not only enhance productivity but also promote dignity and confidence in their work.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang also underscored the importance of increasing support for young people as part of broader efforts to address national priorities. She urged women present at the meeting to speak boldly and actively participate in decision-making spaces where their insights are needed.
The Vice President expressed optimism about deepening collaboration between government and financial institutions, noting that such partnerships are vital for expanding opportunity, supporting enterprise growth, and building an inclusive and resilient economy.
The engagement marks another step in government’s push to boost entrepreneurship, enhance financial inclusion, and strengthen key sectors driving Ghana’s socio-economic transformation.
