'Prioritising SME growth important for economic growth'

Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor Dr. Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku has urged banks to revise and develop new banking models to target Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) because that sector of the economy is critical "for promoting inclusive economic growth."

Issahaku made these comments at the maiden SME fair under the theme ‘SME Financing in Ghana — Enhancing Access and Reducing Costs.’

In other news, the Programmes Officer for the Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana, Charles Nyaaba, has urged government to protect the lands of peasant farmers as the association marked the International Day of Peasants Struggle on Wednesday 27th April, 2016.

According to him, 50 percent lands used for rice farming at Ashaiman, a suburb in Accra has been lost to estate developers.
