The engagement focused on strengthening support for businesses, improving access to international markets, and promoting Ghana's export sector.

Dr Assiakwa provided an overview of the Chamber's role as the leading voice of the private sector, highlighting the key services it offers to businesses across various industries.

She emphasized that its mission aligned with the government's broader agenda of enhancing private sector-led economic growth.
She expressed gratitude on behalf of the delegation to GEXIM for its efforts in supporting Ghanaian businesses, particularly in facilitating access to new markets across the globe.
