“Our SME sector is a very large one but as they go up, the middle becomes very empty; what they call the missing middle. We want to move the SME from being very small as they are to medium and eventually big size. We can only do this with the support of businesses from Germany. So we want to have a framework that can help us achieve this.”

In response, the German Ambassador to Ghana said his outfit is ready to assist SME’s in Ghana to attain mutual benefit for the growth and development of both countries

He explains that both countries need to increase and strengthen business cooperation because this was a little bit lacking in the last years.

We would love to have an exchange of views with Ghana on how we can do this, how we can bring German companies to Ghana and what we can do to increase our economic change and to make it and do that for mutual benefits to both countries.” he stated.
