About 270 clients have already put in their applications awaiting review for support under the programme. Head of SME and One District One factory of GCB, George Fuachie said the bank has signed an agreement with investment initiative, Invest In Africa, to further facilitate credit access to SMEs in Ghana. In an exclusive interview with JoyBusiness, Mr Fuachie said, “GCB has committed a minimum of GH¢1 billion to the One District, One Factory initiative rolled up by the government and as the biggest indigenous bank the board, the management and the staff found it necessary to commit that to it.” GCB, Invest In Africa agreement The year-long agreement between GCB and Invest In Africa (IIA) formally makes GCB the newest partner of the initiative. According to Mr Fuachie, joining the Invest In Africa initiative will further reinforce GCB Bank’s commitment to making a positive difference by supporting the growth of local businesses especially SMEs. He added, “The SME’s department has existed in various shades and forms but there is now a strategic intent to it to become the core of the bank. So it is a new journey, a journey that comes with a lot of experience but obviously, the partnership will bring to the fore the knowledge-based that Invest In Africa has based on the experience with SME’s and that partnership is what I believe would change the engagement with the SME’s.” With over 1500 SMEs in IIA’s pool, GCB hopes to expand their customer base for a relatively improved quality base. Currently, GCB has embarked on a five-year strategic plan and some of the key areas include an intention to expand the bank's customer base. One of the key areas under 2018, 2022 strategic plan is the expansion SME space which is also a key of area of interest for IIA. “Invest in Africa has a pool of SMEs clients who have been scaled up and developed up to a certain level so, their attractiveness in terms of purposes of lending is much better than the off shelve SME client”. Mr George Fuachie alluded. He said, “there are so many challenges facing the SME sector and GCB haven learnt of these have redefined the approach to dealing with them and I believe the partnership will bring value to what we have. Aside from lending to them, we will also provide advisory services to them because in fact some of them don’t actually need facilities but succession plan and differentiation between ownership and management.” “A lot of these are laudable and a lot more need to be improved so the partnership will help some of these institutions in areas where we find it difficult to help them,” he said. The partnership will also explore how SMEs shortlisted by GCB Bank for the One District One Factory (1D1F). Being the largest indigenous financial institution in Ghana with 180+branches, the bank says IIA registered SMEs will benefit from short-to-medium term capital to enable them service tenders. Launched in September 2014 in Ghana, IIA has registered over 1500 SMEs facilitated credit access of US$973K and tenders won valued at $97.1M. Large companies and organizations already supporting the initiative include Tullow Ghana, MODEC, Newmont Mining, Ecobank Ghana, Societe Generale, Ghana, Guinness Ghana Breweries, Africa Development Bank (AfDB) and Multimedia

We need your expertise to fight corruption – Rawlings to Ghanaians abroad Rawlings Guba The former president made this call during the 2018 GUBA awards at the InterContinental Hotel London Former President Jerry John Rawlings has urged Ghanaians living abroad to transmit the quality of discipline and prudent management of resources they acquire in the countries they reside in back to Ghana to help curb corruption in the country. He said while Ghana has made positives strides to enhance democracy and stabilize its economy towards growth and development, it is still grappling with corruption, noting that it “is important to appreciate the fact that keeping our moral fabric as a people intact and the appropriate mindset as citizens towards corruption is key to fighting this menace.” The former President made the call when he delivered the keynote address at the 2018 Ghana UK Based Achievement (GUBA) Awards in London on Saturday. Flt Lt Rawlings said Ghana’s role as a hub of peace and the gateway to Africa meant the country had to contribute in diverse ways to make the continent a better place, stating; “the world can only hold us in high esteem on how much we connect to universal shared values of truth and integrity”. The GUBA Awards’ Special Guest of Honour said he had reached a phase in life where he should be enjoying life after decades of tireless service where he will be content to see his compatriots prosper and gain access to basic amenities and to see an African continent where safety, freedom and justice is guaranteed. “How do I experience any peace of mind when I see my fellow Africans butcher each other as has happened in countries like Sudan, Nigeria and Cameroon? How can I not feel pain and anger when innocent victims especially women and children are mindlessly killed? The former President asked. Touching on the conflicts and violence in parts of the continent, former President Rawlings said too much wealth and power happens to be in the hands of many wrong people with some countries under the grip of unconscionable characters and their partners in the so-called developed world. On the situation in Cameroon, he called on the United Nations and the African Union as well as French President Emmanuel Macron to investigate the reported abuse of Anglophones and to avoid the imposition of superficial solutions on the English speaking half of the country. The former African Union High Representative to Somalia said: “Today, there are many nations around us that are saddled with unimaginable conflicts. What we need to do as a continent is to push our governments and various reputable people to stand and speak out against injustices in affected countries.” Former President Rawlings said democracy and development that was not based on the rule of law and freedom and justice would eventually collapse as experienced in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. ADVERTISEMENT GUBA and its Founder and Chief Executive, Dentaa Amoateng received commendation from the former President for its recognition of the diverse cultural and economic potential of Ghanaians. He also commended GUBA for its humanitarian roles in the areas of autism and support for educational institutions in Ghana. Former President Rawlings presented the GUBA Black Star Lifetime Achievement Award to Ashitei Hammond.

The GABS is the German signature business event in Africa. Top business and government leaders from Germany and Sub-Saharan Africa meet every two years in Africa to promote economic relations between Europe´s largest economy and the fastest growing region in the world. Up to 750 leaders, decision-makers and business representatives are expected to participate.
