Ghana’s economy to experience significant growth from €32.5m SUNREF programme

Ghana is expected to experience significant growth in its economy due to the implementation of a €32.5 million Sustainable Use of Natural Resources and Energy Financing (SUNREF) programme.  

Team Leader for SUNREF, Normand Michaud, after engaging members of the Association of Ghana Industries in Tema, said Cal Bank and GCB Bank are partners in pushing the green economy agenda.    

SUNREF is part of a global initiative by French Development Agency to get public and private banks to finance private sector investments in green technologies and sustainable energy. SUNREF encourages industries and individuals to switch to more sustainable and efficient energy sources.  

Mr. Michaud said, “If you have industries that are willing to invest to be more efficient and generate their own electricity through renewable energy, then the whole country can switch or remove the power [thermal] generation that is polluting the environment. So it is going to help the country a lot.”

“Even financially speaking, if the country can free up some of its electricity consumption they can start selling it more to other countries and so it will have a huge impact on the economy”, he added.

Mr. Michaud further said, “the SUNREF programme right now is going to run for two years or maybe three years in terms of providing loans by the two banks – GCB and CalBank. After that, if things go on well, there is also a possibility of doing phase II in which AfB will invest the same amount, that will run for another three or four years.”
