We understand the challenges faced by SME owners in today’s dynamic market environment. Through these clinics, we aim to provide tailored advice and practical tools that will help them navigate these challenges and emerge stronger.”

Allen Quaye, the Head of Retail Banking at FirstBank Ghana, also addressing the session, highlighted the importance of the SME sector to the Ghanaian economy. “SMEs are the backbone of our economy. They contribute significantly to job creation and economic development. FirstBank Ghana is dedicated to empowering these businesses by providing them with the necessary skills and tools for sustainable growth and profitability,” he said.

Mr. Quaye further stated that the SME clinics are part of FirstBank’s larger strategy to drive financial inclusion and support the local economy. “Our mission is to ensure that SMEs across Ghana have access to the resources they need to thrive. We are not just a bank; we are a partner in their success.”
