Homowo Mart: Tuesday Market has experienced significant growth- Rosemary Beryl Archer

The Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) responsible for Banking, Rosemary Beryl Archer has expressed excitement about the significant growth of the Tuesday Market.

According to her this growth has been significant considering where they started from some years ago.

As a testament of its determination to support Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) to scale up and run profitable ventures, the Management of GEXIM introduced Tuesday Market.

This serves as a platform that presents equal opportunities for Ghanaian entrepreneurs to display their Made In Ghana products for the public to patronise.

Speaking to TheSpectatoronline.com on the sidelines of Homowo Mart held on Tuesday, August 27, the Deputy CEO of GEXIM, Rosemary Beryl Archer, said the Tuesday Market initiative by her outfit started with two vendors in 2018, but today they are oversubscribed.

She said, from January to August, they have showcased products from over 800 SMEs.

According to her, with what she has seen over the years, it is possible that Ghanaians can produce and consume their own products without resorting to markets outside the country.

She said as an export bank, they will continue to help export some of the products to the international markets.

The Homowo Mart had over 100 SMEs exhibiting their products yesterday at the GEXIM premises and it was a delight for the Rosemary Beryl Archer and the President of the Osu Stool Council, Notse Nii Nortey Owuo IV to move round the various vendors to inspect the products on display.

After visiting all the vendors, the President of the Osu Stool Council, Notse Nii Nortey Owuo IV commended GEXIM for such an initiative and appealed for more support to enhance their capacities of young enterprising Ghanaians.

He further called for more marketing opportunities for them to position their products, this he said would ensure growth and sustainability.

Notse Nii Nortey urged Ghanaians to patronize Made In Ghana products to help make the local economy robust.

Interior décor, clothes, cosmetics, footwear, food among others that are locally produced were on display at the Tuesday Market.
