Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has announced plans to expand the Kwahu Business Forum in the coming years, citing the event’s success as a key reason for the decision.

This year’s forum, held under the theme “The Future of Business: The Role of the Financial Sector,” focused on fostering entrepreneurship and supporting the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana.

Speaking to journalists in Kwahu, Mr. Debrah revealed that the forum would broaden its scope to include other key sectors.

“We have received calls from other sectors of the economy, the insurance group. They are asking why we did the business forum without them, because they also, sometimes, extend credit facilities to business operators. So, next year we are going to invite all the insurance companies.

“Then we have financial houses that have not been brought in yet. Pension fund managers also said they have the money to go for long hauls. So, on a much larger scale and in the thinking of the president, next year we are going to expand this to a venue that can host about 5 times what you just saw,” he stated.

The Kwahu Business Forum aligns closely with the government’s broader objective of nurturing Ghanaian-owned SMEs to lead in export and manufacturing.
